Oh, I've been "attacked" by damsels several times while diving. Luckily, they won't draw blood! It's really funny to have one swim right up to your mask and nip at you threateningly! I mean really ... I'm about 200lbs and those damsels are maybe 4" long. :

 

lol...do u ever bite them back?

 

Never mess with a large trigger in the wild, you could loose a digit or an eyebrow My boss told me a story of a collector being attacked by a large trigger tacking his eyebrow clean off. Forgot how many stitches it required, but geesh.

I've been pluggeg by them as well, but never like what a Panamic Fang blenny did to me. Suckers have razor blades as teeth, my cut bled for like 4 hours! He became trigger fodder , or was it grouper fodder I forgot.

what kind of blenny? arent the fangs poisones? Ill be sure to handle those with caustion...would have never guessed.

 

Panamic Fang Blenny, it ranges from Mexico (Sea of Cortez) and all the way down to the Galapagos. Nope, this one is a algae type blenny, no real fangs. It has a top and lower razor blade that it uses to scrape rocks and bite humans with. Not a common fish at all. Our Baja divers were instructed to only catch a few. I don't think the other Baja outfits even bother with the thing.
