Salaria pavo, the peacock blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the eastern Atlantic coast from France to Morocco; also in the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and the eastern Adriatic Sea. This species has colonised the northern Red Sea by anti-Lessepsian migration through the Suez Canal.[1] The peacock blenny reaches a length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) TL.[2] The peacock blenny have unique reproductive behaviors. Bourgeois males typically build and guard nests. Sneaker males will mimic female behaviors in order to approach nests and fertilize eggs.[3]
