Blennie ID Please

Hi All,

Can someone maybe ID this blennie for me? It was sold to me as a Leopard Blennie, but after some research, I found that it's definately not a Leopard Blennie.











He is a very shy fellow so was very hard to take pics of him.

 

I think that is a Cirripectes castaneus or common name Snowflake blenny

 

Thanks Adam,

Yes it seems you are spot on with Snowflake Blennie.

It's an awesome fish. Quite a character. I first tried an algae blennie to help with my algae problem. Then, when he wasn't interested, I got this guys. Neither of them are interested in Bryopsis...lol.

 

Are they both in the tank at the momment?.

 

No, I removed the Algae blennie before adding this one. I know you can't keep them both especially in such a small tank. He gets along very well with the Yellow Clown Goby though. They even hunt together...haha.

 

where did you get the snowflake, they are not common?
