Your picture is very sharp and the fish looks like it has good color.
I got one 4 days ago. I put it in a 20 gallon observation tank with a few pieces of live rock that I let get covered in algae for the last 3 months. The fish hid for a day, then came out at night and made quick work of the algae. I’ve had many other blennies and none cleaned a tank as fast as this one. I started to get nervous because it didn’t take any of the food I put in the tank. No nori, spirulina flake, emerald entree, or frozen brine or mysis. Finally this morning it went after some frozen brine with spirulina. By next week I will be looking for micro algae in another tank to help feed this guy while I try to get him to eat the flake and nori.
What have you observed your eating?

I have one of these. NYAquatics has been getting them.
Super cute, somewhat territorial with other grazers. Has love hate relationship with my bristetooth tang and starry blenny.
But in 270, there is space for everyone.
