Blenny identification

Can someone tell me which blenny I have? He is territorial and a bit agressive if one of the other fish wanders in his space. Loaded with personality though.

Thank you!! this is my first time with saltwater tanks. It is only about three months old and have only recently added fish. I have about 30 pounds of live rock in there.

Thank you so much. So it is a sandperch.
Yes, he is eating well but territorial and a bit aggressive. He does have a personality, and is a hoot to watch. He seems to prefer the brine shrimp. So far he has not bothered the inverts.
