    The picture's so unclear it blends in with the rest of the page! :D It's not showing up. Try uploading through Photobucket.

    From what I can tell, it is not a threadfin snapper. The colors are wrong, as is the finnage. The body shape is different, as well.

    Hello everyone! Thank you for all the input! After doing some research, and also another member here coming to same conclusion, perhaps it is a stripped blenny? Hopefully others can confirm? Thanks again!

    Hello guys! Just thought I would give an update about the mystery fish. I think it is a Striped Blenny. Thank you again to everyone who helped me identify this fish! Even the pet shop owner told me it is a striped blenny. :D
