Emblemaria walkeri
Emblemaria walkeri, the elusive signal blenny, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in the Gulf of California, in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 6.5 centimetres (2.6 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on zooplankton.[2] The specific name honours fisheries biologist Boyd W.
