You could try adjusting the brightness on the image you originally posted. If I was at home, I'd do it for you, but unfortunately I am not. That may make it easier to identify.

I did some quick searching, and I think it may be Paraclinus nigripinnis. I wasn't sure at first, but after seeing the lightened image, I can see what appears to be the circle marking on the back dorsal fin. I think due to its age, it hasn't achieved the full adult colors yet.

I don't think you can conclude that it is P. nigripinnis without being able to see the rest of the posterior end including the tail because some species have more than one ocellus which could be hidden in that pic. Also, there is no basis for which to draw upon in terms of determining the age of the specimen. Fishes in the Paraclinus genus have quite variable coloration.
How many other species of Paraclinus have ocellus and are as widespread thru the area the OP collected this specimen?
They are very color variable depending on their surroungings.He came out today but he was under a rock so i couldn't get a photo. he kind of changes colors he is usually black but turns like a green tint sometimes, it may be do to light though.
Take a look at my posting pic. THAT is a Starry Blenny. Looks just like ur pic, so I stand by my ID.
Yes, take a look at that posting pic....Take a look at my posting pic. THAT is a Starry Blenny. Looks just like ur pic, so I stand by my ID.
@Oldsalt01The dorsal spike and pointed head automatically rule out the entire genus which contains the Starry Blenny.
