[saltnbees]

fish is about 2" greenish with small white dots and a white stripe up its face. Mouth goes to a point. Almost looks like a starry goby but face is wrong shape. Pirches around the live rock. Swiming in short burst. Ive seen it peck the live rock couple times. Usealy hiding very still in cracks between rock that about everything i know about him. Please help

Hard to tell from the pic, but the spotted coloration looks like it could be a Starry Eyed Blenny?

Not a starry, ive had one of them before. His over all shape make me think a wrassie of some sort. He pirches like hes waiting on pray. When he pecks the live rock looks like hes getting pods, the tiny bugs,off rock.he came in live rock. Hoping hes reef safe cause he pretty cool, the way he moves i mean.

Oh he kind of walks sometimes on his fins

Looks almost like a dragon wrasse to me but can't see his dorsal fins.

His dorsel fin runs from his head to tail. Touches tail fin but not connected. Has it folded up most of time. But about 3/8in tall when its out. Its solid pale green color like his body

Oh just seen its got Pink spot on top side of the operculum on each side

Okay. Now I'm thinking it is a Seagrass Wrasse. They come in many colors including light and dark green. Many of them have a white stripe on their head.

Ya, deff not a dragon wrasse from that pic. Not sure. Isn't there a thread on here where it is a wrasse Id thread?

Looks like a razor fish, which is a member of the wrasse family (Labridae). There a re number of different species of razor wrasses. I don't know much about keeping them in an aquarium.

If it "perches" I don't think it's a wrasse at all but some kind of blenny.
