Is this a starry blenny?

[olgalit]

Hello all!
I got a blenny as a present and was told it is a starry blenny. But from what I know - they suppose to be dark brown with white spots - or yellowish when scared. My looks gray and white - is it possible? (the photo u see here is the best mutch that I found - mine is hiding and I cannot take a pic)

That's a regular Algae Blenny, S. fasciatus.

you sure? the fish has "horns" on his eyes that look like they belong to starry blenny. I olso have a algae blenny - and the new blenny does not look like him

Sailfin Blenny (Salarias fasciatus)

common nicknames of Algae Blenny and Sailfin Lawnmower Blenny due to their efficiency at consuming various marine algae. Sailfin Blennies have bushy cirri (whisker-like appendages) protruding from the top of the head (between the eyes)

Your blennie is very cool but it's not a Starry, Mine is as you described dark brown with the white spots and is very friendly as well he swims right into my hand when I feed mysis or brine shrimp. He's quite the attention getter.
