Mystery Blenny

[WaterDog]

So we got this blenny from marine scene. The guy said he was a midas blenny, but now that we look at him we're not sure if he is. Is he a midas blenny who's just stressed or sick, or is he just something else?

Davelin had a mystory blenny that ate every soft mollusk in his tank... anyway hope someone can I'd it

Looks like a midas to me. They look spotted like that when stressed. If you just got him he should return to his yellow as soon as he settles in (may take a couple of days).

Definitely a stressed midas blenny.

Looks like it's in isolation with nothing to hide in, but can't tell for sure with the picture. If it is, give it something to hide in as it's not going to be comfortable without a hiding place. Oh, and I agree, it's a Midas.

Hmmm, I don't know. Do midas blennys have those two little antenna looking projections on their head? I've not seen any with those. Why don't you search here and see which one best matches what you have. It looks a little like a bicolor but I really can't tell by the pic you posted. is there anyway to reduce the pic?

That looks like it. And yes the midas and some other blennies do have the two antenna

He's getting a little better today, there's a six-lined wrasse in there too. He doesn't seem to be bugging the blenny, but should I be aware of any possible problems?

There are a few pieces of PVC pipe and a flowerpot in there.
