Sorry, not the best pics, but can someone id this guy? Is he ok to be around fish? Or does he attack fish? Thanks!

He attacks fish. He mimics a cleaner, but bites a chunk instead. A type of fang blenny.

I'm no expert but it looks like a member of the Ptereleotris genus of dartfishes, if so it is probably fairly docile and would do good in a tank with other peaceful fish.

Edit: I was wrong, way off. My bad.

Thanks guys! I figured out what he was while waiting and back to the LFS store he went. Too bad though, very cool eel like fish, but I can't have him snacking on my fish!

I wish that were true! He had a really cool eel-y way about him. Thanks for trying to help! :)

If you see one of those guys yawn you'd think twice about even going into the same room;)

I had two that were box fillers on import once and I tried every food and couldn't get them to eat. They were really cool.
