vulkum · 09-07-2001, 04:03 PM

hi all i was told this is a lawnmower blenny but all the pics i've seen don't match so heres the best pic my poor digital camera will take. the blenny has brown and black circles halfway down his body then they turn into red circles. any info on where i can look up them on line would be great. he definatly eats algae off the glass!
thanks
aaron

Vulkum,
Sure looks like my Lawnmower. Color is not a key factor in ID of LB's.
[quote] Changes colour depending on the surroundings the fish is located in. On the sand goes very pale colour, almost totally washed out. Dark coloured rocks does the opposite, turning into very deep and dark browns and greys.
