Sorry crappy pics but can anyone id this fish?

Looks like it may be Labrisomus nuchipinnis a.k.a. Hairy Blenny.

It is a hairy blenny. Just found a pic online that looks identical. Good/Bad?

Now you HAVE to name him Harry.

good for a FOWLR as an algae eater with a little 'tude.
not so good for a reef as they like to chow on shrimp and other inverts.
plus they get big and fiesty at over 6" and grow fairly quickly. it's one of the first fish I caught and kept when I hit florida a dozen years ago... :beachbum:

You think it will go after my purple lobster or king conchs?

 

[RicksReefs]

by 'king' conch, do you mean the crown conch? if so, the conch is a predator along with the lobster (and he has claws to defend himself), so I'd say it's not a bad match. but depending on the mood of the lobster, don't be suprised if the fish (or anything silly enough to get caught) turns into a scooby snack for the lobster someday.

I guess a crown, they where sold to be as kings, one is almost a baseball and a half. The lobster is kinda small right now. Barley ever see him.

We have one in our 210 mixed reef (and yes, his name is Harry), and he hasn't caused any problems, but he's only about 4" (and he has been growing quickly!)

I was given 4, 2 on the smaller side, a med. and one that is like 4" If anyone want to trade a frag or something for one just let me know.
