Hey guys, I caught two of these guys today while I was snorkeling. They're pretty cool looking and I'd love to find out what they are.

Horned blenny?

Lawnmower blenny?

I'm sorry the picture is terrible, it's from my phone

one is about 3 inches and the other 4 inches. I found them snorkeling off Naples. They were hanging out in stiff penshells (large bivalve shells) and I would tickle them to make them retreat into the shell, then close the shell until nestled in my net. Pretty simple and effective. I managed to get several large hermits aswell

Oh and they also have two very distinct horns (look like xenia) on their heads
