Default 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.

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.



I take that back see next post.

Wait a minute, just saw this pic. of a weedfish and actually mine looks just like it, only mine is more of a yellow/green colour. Thank-you Dawn, ummm, now what on earth is a weedfish! LOL I think I have some reading to do.
