ember blenny

Picked up one of the "Indian" Blennies as well today. I think they're actually Cirripectes castaneus (Chestnut blenny) instead of the C. stigmaticus (Ember/Stigmata/Indian Blenny). Still a cool fish!

That would explain the price, lol.

Im trying to catch the larger one I bought as it is terrorizing my hawkfish for some reason, not sure why its the only fish in my tank it goes after, other than the other blenny. Im hoping the smaller one will morph into a female soon...

They are apparently just as uncommon as the Embers, though neither are rare. They're just not collected as often. LiveAquaria sells the Embers for the same prices as all the other combtooth blennies ($35).

Blennies aren't suspected to be able to change sex as far as I've seen published. Where do you find this info?

I love his color, he eats algae like a lawnmower blenny, so hes cool looking and eats algae. My powder blue makes him hide a bit but that will change
