What did I almost step on?

I was snorkeling in Tortola near the caves of "treasure island" it was very shallow and i saw this thing boobing slightly between some rocks. it was defiantly trying to blend in with the rocks.. What the heck was it? a turtle's head, a Snake's head, I don't know.. but I'm very curious.

Without a side view it is hard to tell if it is a blenny or what.

I just looked up images of a blenny, that's not what it was..

it was defiantly the head of something and the head was about the size of my big toe.


anyone else have any ideas?

Maybe it was a toe then. JK

Could have been a mantis shrimp.

It doesn't look like one. I thought you were right when you thought it was a blenny.
