    I hear you

    I still looking for help/answers told the true identity. By data found so far on these is my, "guess" of addaption to environment. Information on the "rock greenling is they will change color to addapt to surrondings. is I have seen as well in short time observing. PLEASE if you can lead to a correct speices, I am all eyes. I agree there is something different, but similar at the same time.
    Thanks

    you know I could probably send an email to a marine bio (i know they also have an icthyology department)professor here at UF with the photo. If they can't identify it I don't know who can. Plus they would probably be very interested if its a non native species.

    just to show off - 90% sure it is a female. ;) By the way, you should feed it meaty foods like chopped shrimp when possible.

    Absolutly John. I thought Blenny befor but didn't think they got this large, but you are correct sir. So much for my b/s theory. I all ready feed my groupers shrimp, squid, silversides, ect so The diet should be fine. Thanks a bunch, That was fun.
