    The LFS was selling this guy as an "Algae Blenny" for $15.99.

    When I saw him, knowing he was one of the exact fish on my list, I was very excited. Then I read the writing on the tank and it said "Algae Blenny" and was confused. I asked "Doesn't he look more like a Starry Blenny?" and they said "Nope, it's an Algea".

    You tell me... Algae or Starry? I vote Starry. :D (which would be awesome for me if I'm right) Not the best pic, sorry.

    Also, sorry to take up so much screen space, but check out the color change from one pic to the next in the next two pictures. This is my first Blenny and it changes colors so quickly and dramatically that it reminds me of an Octopus.

    Because it was the first fish on my list and it was right there looking at me when I walked in the LFS. I'm not trying to say it's a rare find, I'm just happy.

    Thanks! :)
