    I believe that's him just below that patch of hair algae on the left hand side

    He's just poking his head out. Left side of the montipora.

    That hair algae patch was perfect for him to run out and nibble at. Ended up not lasting long!

    I didn't know these blennies change color and patterns to!!!

    Mine gets some sort of tiger pattern and darker at night or when he jumps into his rock hole.

    My bicolor knocks my snails off the rocks whenever I come over to the tank, he also purposely gets stuck to my circulation pumps, like it's a game. I always say he acts more like a goofy dog than a fish.

    heres a couple of pics of my barnacle blenny (ignore the camera ham helfrinchi). When I got him he was very attached to his shell. now he lives in a piece of live rock. He only comes out to eat or if one of the snails gets too close to his den. Then he picks it up and spits it over the side of the rock. Cracks me up every time;D I call him my little muppet:cheesy:

    HAHA, the first pic I sat there saying to myself "Umm, that's not a blenny....." then I saw the second pic and was forced to look back. That little guys head is funny poking out like that....
