Blenny/goby ID?

[Picasso Clown]

Caught this guy perching on a rock. Very slimy, no scales, and does poorly in air so not a mudskipper or anything like that. Caught in Florida, on some jetties. Coloration is a little dulled cause obviously he’s a bit traumatized even though I was pretty gentle. If I can get an ID, aggression, general behavior (do they need sand? I found him on a large boulder), diet, and minimum tank size/max fish size that’d be great! Thanks to all who respond

looks very similar to an Allen’s blenny. What part of Florida?

That definitely looks like a blenny, but I don’t know which one specifically. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Bump, anybody recognize this dude?

 

[Picasso Clown]

Please yall, I’m begging now. I don’t wanna take something I can’t keep, I’d feel horrible if I found out I couldn’t properly house it after taking it from the ocean.

 

[Picasso Clown]

Bump... come on please

Depending on if the coloration gets better when it’s less stressed (Looks pale), kind of looks like a seaweed blenny to me

 

[Regular_Reefer]

Maybe

 

[Picasso Clown]

Maybe

YES that looks pretty similar thank you so much, do you know anything about their care?

 

[Regular_Reefer]

Nothing more than what google could tell you (or more experienced users here). I’ve never owned one personally so I would be able to speak on care. Sorry

I caught some green ones. Can’t find what they are either hahaha Did you find out what it is?

Seaweed blenny! Reef safe, he’s doing great and eating like a pig. Seems to be much like a lawnmower blenny except readily accepts meaty food items as well

Great! I’m on the way home with my new catches right now. I’ll post some pictures! They seem herbivorous as they’re Blennies obviously but also they lived amongst a whole bunch of seaweeds and loads of hair algae.

There he is. He said “Catch me lookin’ contemplative.”
