Caught this one last night in a fish trap. He's still a bit wary and was hiding, but I managed this photo. A bit like an orange spot blenny, but darker generally and finer spots.

Blennies are tough for me, but possibly the False Tasmanian Blenny/Horned Blenny, Parablennius intermedius?

This guy has great character now he settled into the tank. Checking me out from his favourite hiding spots when I come close to the tank. Teasing the hermits seems to be his favourite sport - I haven't seen him do any damage, but he chases them back into their shell occasionally.
