Blenny Identification
Hi!
I was wondering if someone could help ID this blenny for me. I have a larger picture if needed. http://home.ptd.net/~jedv/blenny.jpg He is a recent purchase from the LFS who had him labeled as an Algae Blenny. I don't think this is correct...I did some research and my guess would be Istiblennius interruptus. Thanks! Jed Last edited by darkjedv; 11-19-2007 at 09:57 AM. |

It is a blenny. I'm fairly certain it is in genus istiblennius, but I am still searching...
Edit: Closest I can find is istiblennius chrysospilos, but I'm still not convinced that is what it is because the markings on the face differ form your blenny.
