Anyone know what this is? The guy's LFS had listed it as a horned blenny but I dont think that is correct.

I'm not positive, but I think it's some sort of rare highly poisonous coral-eating species.

Yep im pretty much an expert... thats what it is!

I think it could be the Longhorn Blenny instead of the Horned Blenny.

Paraclinus marmoratus

Might be related to the Candirú , so watch out were you put your wurst.

I think that is it. Thanks Not a lot of info on the web about them but they appear to be reef safe.

Would you put it in your tank so we can find out if it is safe before the rest of us get one!!

 

[sperry]

Sure, you buy it and let me know when to pick it up.
