and I have no picture....
I bought an "eyelash" blenny from the LFS. This fish has a white background with dark grey markings. From looking at pictures he looks similar to
S. fasciatus
P. gattorugine
P. marmoreus
(one of those is the lawnmower blenny, one is seaweed blenny and one is toppot blenny or something).
However, his behavior.... He seems to want to eat meaty foods and pods all the time, and is much less interested in algae. I haven't seen him munching on any rock algae for that matter. He spends his days stirring the sandbed with his tail looking for pods, digging under my rock structure looking for pods, and moving large pepples around--he carries them in his mouth a ways and then spits them out. He is basically reaquascaping my entire sandbed.
Does this sound like the behavior of a lawnmower blenny to you?? I hope he doesn't create a rock slide....
