The first one was a different type of blenny that was my favorite !! I quarantined him for 30 days before going in my 300 , added him and either my pair of clowns killed him or my lawnmower blenny

I ended up with one damsel and gave him to my buddy which has a lfs!! He got some mean that he actually ate the fins off of a trigger fish lol

We collected at the boca inlet. Great stuff there!

Now this blenny/gobby thing is really throwing mw through a loop...hes so freaking smart...that when i go to look at the tank he comes up to were every my face is and puts on a show of some sort for me...like idk a dance? Then changes colors...i feed him after that and he loves it...idk maybe he assosiated me with food??

I also caught some damsels like these years back when I started my first tank. I also caught some small wrasse like fish but was never able to find out what they were?
