Mystery Blenny

I get nervous. That's all. Really considering swiping one of the tanks in the driveway and keeping him.

I would cause he definitely is a cool looking fish

Temperate, indeed!

We have feather blennies in Connecticut! Not everywhere, but locally abundant in some harbors. This guy does look like one, right down to the iridescent green spot on his dorsal.

I agree with Rickyb1982, your blenny is Hypsoblennius hentz (feather blenny). As far as being temperate, don't worry about it, they're quite hardy and will do fine in warmer temperatures. I had one in a fish only tank and they're omnivores. Feed them the same live or frozen foods as your other fish and if they're well fed, they should leave your corals alone. They love chopped fresh oysters or clams. I've also kept molly millers and feather blennies are very similar with regard to diet and care, maybe even more hardy. If you keep more than one, males will fight, so keep that in mind.
