"dragon scooter blenny" ???

My LFS has what they are calling a dragon scooter blenny. It looks like a regular scooter blenny, but its huge, probably about 6" or so. Has anyone ever heard of this or know where I can get some info? I'm specifically wondering if it will be just as hard to feed as a regular scooter blenny. It certainly has a much bigger mouth, but would that mean bigger food than copepods?

Thanks!
 
A scooter blenny is classed as a dragonet, like mandarins. The term 'blenny' is a misnomer, but so popular it just sticks on and on.
That is a pretty huge one. They come in reds, browns, stellate, non-stellate, various types. The largest I ever had was about 4". And the bigger they are, the more they eat, but they are more apt to change foods than a mandarin is. If they say it eats anything other than pods, get the lfs to demonstrate it before you consider buying it.
