What is this fish?

[Homestead_Dad]

I did some searches and no blenny or goby with this color.

Maybe hypleurochilus springeri?

Maybe a blue midas blenny

After doing some more research it is tessellated blenny, Hypsoblennius invemar. Can't find one for sale though.

Here's a guy who had a buddy collecting them, seems they didn't fare well in his aquarium iirc

You all should PM or email @NYAquatic (www.nyaquatic.com). He gets lots of rare fish and keeps an eye out for specific fish.

Well If I see one while diving in Florida, how could I keep it alive for a week till I get back home?

Take a small heater air stone and some prime or equivalent for ammonia control or daily water changes
