Tompot blenny The tompot blenny has a slimy body, naked without scales, elongated, brown in several shades, with many stripes and patterns and various forms of skin growths above the eyes on its head. It has very strong jaws and a powerful bite. Blenny lives in cracks and holes in shallow water (3-32 m depth), while the younger specimens reside in the shallows. It feeds on invertebrates, but it runs-up to other type of food, so it can be often seen feeding on waste. It can grow up to 30 cm in length although most adult specimens are 15-20 cm long. It is usually active at dawn and at dusk.

Slingurica, babica mrkulja Ima sluzavo tijelo, golo bez ljusaka, izduženo, smeđe boje u više nijansi, s mnoštvom pruga i šara, te kožnim izraslinama raznih oblika poviše očiju na glavi. Vrlo je jakih čeljusti i snažnog ugriza. Živi u procjepima i rupama u plitkom moru (3 – 32 m dubine), a mlađi primjerci i u samom plićaku. Hrani se beskralješnjacima, ali će se zaletiti i na drugu vrstu hrane, tako da je često možemo vidjeti gdje se hrani otpacima. Može narasti i do 30 cm duljina iako su najčešći odrasli primjerci veliki 15-20 cm. Najčešće je aktivna u zoru i u sumrak.
