Who sells this fish?

[RoxannaBanana]

So I recently came across a fish called the Gulf Signal Blenny. Love, love, love. I did a little research on it and it seems they are pretty common in the gulf of California, yet I can't seem to find anyone who actually sells it. Any leads?

Haven't actually seen one for sale either. There's another member on here named jraker that has one for his avatar picture.

I've never seen one offered anywhere in over 30 years.
I'd jump all over a pair.

Cooler water temps if that is their location - probably not viable for a warm water reef. I thought I recall them being in the same family or like the Barnacle Blenny?

Ah, that makes sense why they aren't more available.

Yeah - it could be similar to what we see with the little Catalina fella. Nice looking fish but again requires the cooler waters. I've seen a few cooler running reef tanks with chillers for species tanks and they can do well. But if I know they are collected in cooler waters then for me I usually pass.

I have also read, but can't find the link anymore, that they are difficult to catch. Again in a thread a while back someone catching on their own used weed trimmer line because it was flexible and was able to chase them out then catch them. In fact, they wrote a pretty good article in that you have to keep multiple males and a female to get the displace. It is territorial display I guess.

I've got a Black Sailfin Blennie, and while not exactly the same fish, very similar in appearance and tons of personality. It lives in a bunch of large barnacles front and center in my DT. Woe be to any who venture too near!
