The Galápagos barnacle blenny, Acanthemblemaria
castroi, lives
in empty barnacle shells, often with only its head protruding.
*The endemic Galápagos Barnacle Blenny, a slender, 2" long shallow-water reef fish was previously commonly observed in the cool waters of the islands; despite careful searches by our divers and others since that time, the Barnacle Blenny, unique to the archipelago, appears to have disappeared.
