I am sure the shrimp I collected were pepermint and the other pic is some sort of Blenny. Could some confirm that the shrimp is pepermint and also ID the type of Blenny and if they are reef safe.

It does look like peppermint shrimp, but I dont know what the name of the blenny is, it kinda looks like a lawnmower but the mouth doesnt look right.

I has almost red hair on top of its head. They seem extremely aggresive. I have some smaller white ones that have already attacked a few snails and some shrimp. I think my collection tank is too crowded now. I have not seem the gobbys eat anything. But I have seem them nip at everything in the tank that gets too close. Actually my lawnmower back home does the same thing if another fish gets bothers him. My lawnmower killed a baby clown fish that was just being curious and swim into a hole with the lawnmover. I need to drop one in a tank with hair algea and see what happens. I have not seem them sanf sifting. But they have dug under some of the rocks I dropped in. The blennys I found are white, brown and all colors between. They all look the same as far as body structure. But the colors are different in different tide pools I found them in. The white ones appear to be the most agressive.
