dc.description.abstract	The cyclical relationship of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model is a critical base component for expansion in the research field of mathematical modeling. Our study focusses on a species relationship, the blue striped fang blenny, and the lizardfish, that has not yet been analyzed in this capacity. Fang blenny are interesting as they have a distinct character of changing colors and are able to mimic different species of fish by changing color. Fang blenny as a predator mimics harmless cleaner wrasse, consumes a bite from its larger prey and retreats the safety of its den. Unfortunately for the Fang blenny, the lizardfish is not fooled, and a would-be predator can itself become the prey. This species relationship is being observed through modeling.	en_US
