    I recently got a midas blenny from the LFS, his coloring is different from all of the other midas' ive seen online, but he is deffiently not a canary.

    i do not have a good pic of him yet but i will try to explain what he looks like.

    here is live a's pic of a midas Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Midas Blenny

    for my midas, his side and bottom fins are blue, his top fin and tail are yellow. In the pic where they have that yellow line right next to the eye, mine has three yellow dots on each side of his face, he still has the blue eyes, and the best way i can describe his body color is like a peach. He has a very timid personality but active at the same time. He also doesnt have those clear fins between his tail

    I dont know why mine has different coloring from most ive seen online. So i would like to see if you guys could post pics of yours to see if i can see any comparision in coloring/markings to mine.

    I will also try to get pics of my guy when i can

    thanks guys for the pics, and yea mine is a lot paler than the ones ive seen and yours, and mine's coloring doesnt really look anything like yours, i thought maybe it was because he was new and getting used to his enviroment but the blue on his fins and yellow on top, makes me think its just hm.

    I'm wondering maybe he's a midas blenny hybrid of some sort? or collected from somewhere else???
