Our neighbors brought home these blennies of some sort from the pass last night. Also the other fish? Can anyone ID them for me, and are they reef safe. I'll wait to put them in the tank till I recieve your responces. Thanks

God not sure, maybe Snakeman will know those.

The Blennies with a red mohawk are Molly Millers and the ones with the horns probably are Crested Blenny. I have wild caught blennies in my tanks. They should be fine although you might not want to put but one per tank. I don't know how well they will get along together. They are very territorial. I don't know what that other fish is but I wouldn't take a chance with him in a reef tank. here is a good site to Id fish.

They look really cute with their little eyebrows.

I can get plenty of those type blennies if any body wants some. I've got one in my frag tank I can give away if somebody would like to have one.

Thanks for the info. I also just found out the other guy is not a pleasant fellow. He got in there by acciedent. It is a juvenile mango or school master snapper. He's VERY preditoral, and going back

snake...do you ever find a blenny with different colors? Like orange or bright green or red? If you do I want one...a small one. Thanks!

We have these kind on the oil rigs http://claycoleman.tripod.com/id63.htm . I've got a white one of the kind, I though I was getting a blue one but some how I got an oddball. Look in my gallery to see a picture. If I ever get back out to the rigs i'm going to catch as many as I can.

I could be wrong but he looks like he is smiling at me.

The one piece of gear that I don't have to catch those types of Blennys is a boat. So if anybody has a boat big enough to go out in the gulf and will take me I'll get some for everybody.
