This was sold to me as a Lawnmower Blenny. Pretty sure it is not. Anyone recognize it? It’s pretty shy. Hangs in the shadows and underside of rocks. Really only jets out to snag a piece of food and then right back to the underside of the rock.

Got yourself a deal. Not an algae eater but much prettier

Not even the same family. Half bar goby. Good score for you.
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I think that is one of the Priolepis gobies, more valuable than a lawnmower blenny!

I think you nailed it Jay. This describes the temperament to a “T”. Colors on mine are more purple/green but the markings are almost identical. Thanks much!
