Striped poison-fang blenny, Meiacanthus grammistes. In an aggressive posture. These fish have large canines associated with venom glands that serve as defense weapons. But unlike most venomous fish, which inject toxins through their fins, fang blennies deliver venom through their bite. Furthermore, fang blenny venom does not appear to produce potent pain. Instead, it causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, which might temporarily stupefy predators. Cebu, Philippines
