    I got this little fellow from LFS who sold it as bicolour Blenny, but it looks nothing like the normal bicolor Blenny. See the photo below (sorry I couldn't take a better pic). It has a white belly from head to tail, brown colour halfway, then yellow to the tail. Is it a rare colour variation? Any idea?

    edit: since I put it in the tank, she has been busy cleaning up the algae on the wall. Pretty cool and cute!

    Looks like just a color variant of a Bicolor. Scott W. Michael's "Reef Aquarium Fishes" actually shows yours fish, described as a Bicolor Blenny variant. Here is a picture from a site I found with different Bicolors:
