A member of the family Blenniidae, referring to an individual blenny fish.
From Blenniidae, the scientific family name derived from Greek 'blennos' (slime) + the scientific suffix '-id' meaning 'member of a family' or 'relating to'.
Scientists use '-id' to mean 'a member of this family,' so a blenniid is to blennies what a humanoid is to humans—it's the scientific way of saying 'this belongs in that group.'
