Blue Midas Blenny, Real or Fake?

I was doing some poking around on the internet and I saw a few things about a blue Midas blenny, but couldn't find any for sale online. Are these even real fish or are they fake, and if they're real, where could I get one? Here's a pic from one of the posts I saw online.

I have one. In certain lighting. He’s translucent. It’s really cool.

LFS or online?

Mine turns blueish-purple when he’s stressed.

My friend gave me a few fish. I think he bought it at a local fish store in San Jose Ca.

I'd say that is a real picture, but I think it's just a normal midas blenny. The midas blenny can drastically change their color based upon mood. Mine never gets that blue but it does get a bluish purple color when unhappy, but most of the time it's the standard peachy color.
