Believe it or not, I just saw one of these at my lfs yesterday. Never saw one before! I loved him. He wasn't for sale though. Adorable.
I've seen them pretty frequently. They are always really cute. Similar to a barnacle blenny, except the tail spot will actually swim around.

Sad news, the pipefish didn't make it. I don't think he was eating, despite there being tons of pods and flatworms for him to eat.

Blenny is doing just great, always have a fat belly full of algae.

Oh no.....so sorry! I had a hard time with those. I bought two that the lfs said were captive bred. 1 ate frozen no problem then he decided to go carpet surfing. The other ate live only and got his snout stuck in a rock and died. Seriously. I couldn't believe it. He must have been chasing a pod and welp.......Glad to hear the blenny is doing well!!!!

Ha ha, yes your blenny is dwarfed by your tank. I am sorry that the pipefish didn't make it. I got CB pipefish from Ocean Rider and both of them did well for about 2 years. They were reasonably priced too.
