[Curtis1]

I was looking for a smaller, unusual fish and we saw this at the LFS. He is kinda yellowish/orangey/gold colored with black bars and 2 black spots, then after around 6-7 bars it changes to small black specks/dots, kinda at the point where a bi-color changes colors. A really cool fish, very personable. Loves climbing in and out of all the rockwork and holes. Also very fast when needed. Almost moves like a snake. The LFS owner says that he has never seen one in 23yrs of business. So I figure that it must be pretty rare. He is eating well, very friendly, yet a loner. The LFS said that they have had him for 3 mos, but that he would always stay hidden in a big shell, only reason why he hadn't sold yet. I got him for $24.99 He is about 2.5-3" long.

From your pictures, it appears to be an Elegant Blenny (Omobranchus elegans)

I think that you are correct. I was searching and found one listed on Diver's Den for $69.99
