The Fish That Pretends to Be Dead
The fanged fangblenny isn’t just a funny name—it’s a fish with a fascinating trick. When caught, it may go completely limp and float belly-up, mimicking a dead fish. Some predators lose interest when the fun of the chase is gone, allowing the fangblenny to suddenly twitch back to life and swim away.
But there’s more—it also has venom that causes mild discomfort in larger fish, giving it an extra layer of protection. In other words, it fakes death, bites if needed, and zips away while the predator is confused. It’s a whole survival mixtape in one slippery package.
