Help with ID

[spayne377]

I bought this fish yesterday at a LFS. It was sold to the store as a "mini lawnmower blenny". It reminded me of a "tail-spot blenny" the way it's head is, which is a fish that I've been interested in getting for my nano. It reminds the LFS owner of a bi-color, but he knows it isn't. He hasn't led me astray, so I went ahead and got it.

I've looked at the live dealers online, wetwebmedia as well as fish index with no luck at pinpointing exactly what this fish is.

It is very small... an inch, give or take. I've seen it pick at the rock. It hides in the rock in the tiny holes. I did observe it pic at the glass and it was very lawnmower-like in how it did it. I haven't had it long so that's really all the input I have.

Here's the pics. It's a very fast fish, hard to get good pics of. But hopefully they're good enough to figure out what it is! Because I certainly haven't had any luck IDing it!

Full shot:

Thanks in advance for any help. I don't typically get things for the tank without knowing anything about them first.

Thanks!

I think I found my answer. It looks like a blenniella interrupta, aka the dashed-line blenny. Here's the link, just in case anyone was curious.
