Could be a leopard blenny. They are coral eaters.

Stressed stigmata blenny?

That was my first thought too. My favorite blenny, but I always have a difficult time getting them to eat anything. Just keep offering as many different types of food as you can, and hope it will go for something. Nori, algae-coated live rock, even live brine shrimp, black worms, or mussels/clams on half shell.

One of my all time favorites. Unfortunately probably one of my all time failures. I have kept many, many different fish, but never had any success with these guys. Great looking fish. Would love to hear about other people's success. I heard they ship very poorly and don't cope with stress very well. Also they need pristine water quality and large amounts of food. Tim
