Sailfin Blenny Displaying

Another Caribbean image from St. Vincent in 2002. This is a male sailfin blenny displaying for females and to announce his territory. I have found groups of these small but audacious little fish (1 1/2" long approx) occasionally on flat rubble bottoms. The males will rise six inches or so up into the water column, and rapidly raise and lower their large dorsal a few times like waving a flag fin to advertise their presence in their territory and to attract females and then zip quickly back into their small holes. This one would not come completely out of his hole because I was inside his comfort zone. I needed a 105 lens or a 105 with a 2X teleconverter to give me more working distance (I have those but not with me on this dive). I could see other sailfins up in the water off both my elbows displaying but my subject would not relax with my "big eyes" (port and strobes) looking directly at him. Again, it pays to move slowly and look very closely all around not only on reefs but also out in the open to find all the wonderful but tiny things waiting to be photographed.
