The Secretary Blenny is a unique fish from Bonaire’s underwater world.
The Secretary Blenny, is a special sight in the waters around Bonaire. This small but remarkable fish has a penchant for Bonaire’s warm, clear waters, where the coral reef provides an ideal habitat. These little fish, rarely larger than a few inches, have a fascinating way of life. They settle in abandoned wormholes or other small openings in the coral, where they find a safe hiding place and can be on the lookout for food. What makes the Secretary Blenny so interesting to divers and snorkelers is their behavior. They are curious and not very shy, often approaching within inches of their observers. Their vibrant colors, ranging from green, brown to yellow, camouflage them perfectly with the surrounding coral reefs, but with a little patience, observant visitors can easily spot them.

My name is Casper Douma and I am a photographer. Since 2014 I’ve been living on this beautiful island, surrounded by a fringing reef. At first glance, you may see mostly cacti and drought, but Bonaire is a little gem if you get to know it better. I would like to take you on one of my photography tours to show you all the special places of Bonaire. In small groups of maximum 4 people I give you a unique look at the beauty of Bonaire. Became curious? Take a look at my website! I wish you a lot of fun on beautiful Bonaire.
