Blenny ID/ it's actually a weedfish, anyone know anything about weedfish?
 
I was at Blue World yesterday and they had their "little blue world" nano section set up, which was really cool to see. I ended up buying this blenny while I was there, but I have no idea what type of blenny he is. I tried to google search some blenny images but I had no luck, anyone know what type of blenny it is?

He's a really cool looking blenny and he sort of walks around on the sand with these two skinny little leg type of things.

Are you sure its a Blenny? If anything I would say its some species of wrasse or possibly some sort of dragonette. Never seen anything like it, almost looks like a cross between a Corris wrass and a lawnmower blenny.

They had 3 more :mrgreen:

Taylor I googled red crown blenny, but this blenny shows up, which is the same as the other type of blenny you have there, but not the one I bought.

I just googled waspfish, and it's vaguely similar but not the same.

It's not a red crown and I agree it doesn't quite look like a wasp fish either.

Maybe a type of weedfish?

Doesn't really look like a weedfish but he has the same sort of "leg" like things that he walks around on coming out of his chin like this pic. of this weedfish has.
