I was doing a search for Blennys & found this picture that was listed as a Midas Blenny. I've never seen a Midas Blenny any color but yellow. Anyone seen one of these or is it wrongly described?

They change color to mimic a specific Anthias. Presumably why their behavior is pretty different from most Ecsenius blennies.

Very interesting, thanks for the info.

That’s really cool looking. My lfs has a “black Midas” researching it turned out to be a tribal / black combtooth blenny

This colour change is normally temporary as they can change at will, normally reverting to yellow after a while.

I have a few Midas Blennies but never knew about this. Thanks for the responses.
