Blenny ID

simply_g · Oct 16, 2015

Owner at the fish store had this guy labeled as a starry blenny, but I've never seen a starry like this from pictures online or from other LFS. The blenny is almost all black/dark brown and white stripes and dots, no yellow fins like a starry. The fin above the head (dorsal fin?), not sure what's it's called is entirely different like a starry. Can someone please help me ID, I have not had any luck searching online. I've attached some pics, hope someone could help.

Thanks!

Btw, fish was eating frozen mysis at the store. Owner said he never saw it pick at any algae for the 2+ weeks he's had it.

Looks like a sailfin blenny to me.

Thanks, I think you're right. They're listed as an herbivore, but I think they will eat whats available? I witnessed him eating small bits of frozen food at the store.

From my experience with blennies. They'll eat what ever is available.

Same color and pattern as a starry so I can see the mistake.
