Rick Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Looking for a quick identification on this. I'm sure I already know what it is however the store argued with me about it trying to tell me it was a clown goby. After a minute or so I dropped it since they were selling the clown gobies for 5.99 instead of the 7.99 these were listed for.(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 LOL, yes, I'm sure it's an Algae Blenny A.K.A. Lawnmower Blenny or Sailfin Blenny. I thought it was funny because he argued about it so I ended up getting it for $5.99. He tried to use a scooter blenny for comparison which is actually a mandarin rather than a blenny. (Which I also told him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defigart Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Rick looks like a starry Blenny. Closely related to the Algae Blenny. If it is mostly a uniform color with a few tiny spots its probably a Starry Blenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Rick looks like a starry Blenny. Closely related to the Algae Blenny. If it is mostly a uniform color with a few tiny spots its probably a Starry Blenny. At some point I'll get a better picture of it. It just started really coming out yesterday. (I've had it since Monday) The coloring is wrong for a starry blenny though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 For that price I would have gotten all he has... I only saw 2 on Monday. Last night I ran by there again and they didn't have any left. Even if they did I wouldn't have gotten any. There were signs on half the tanks saying the fish were under observation and not for sale. Pretty sure they are all tied together so I wouldn't buy any without knowing why they were being observed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
