Elephant ear and blenny - a photo on Flickriver

            A redlip blenny (ophioblennius atlanticus) on a elephant ear sponge (agelas clathrodes).

You can't miss elephant ear sponges on the reef - they are huge and their bright orange stands out. Clearly, they don't have the color of an elephant's ear, but occasionally they grow to resemble one in size and shape (if you are imaginative).

Redlips come in two color forms, a dark and a light one. This is the dark form and it is my experience that they are less common. They are wary and require a slow and calm approach. They are sometimes called horseface blennies. That too seems to require some imagination.
