I just looked up your Blenny in my late husband's diver's reef book. He was a diver and instructor and sometimes some of the books he had come in handy. So here is some info about your blenny, if this is the same one

He is also known as Disco Blenny and / or white blenny
He is a omnivore, and territorial with the same species and his disposition is semi-aggressive. His mature size is about 4 inches and he hails from Western Indo Pacific / Sri Lanka , he is White with black stripe running from eye along dorsal region. Beside the venemous portion of his description it says : considered to be. Also says he is reef safe and his hardiness is moderate.

Thanks for thinking of me and checking, thats very much appreciated.
I couldnt find thing on either two of these, and the venomous species are that of the Meiacanthus genius(I think) I finally did find something on mine though, and that there are 2 different color varients, One is like mine, the other doesnt have the "piano key" marks along the body. Here is what I found:

Lined Combtooth Blenny (Ecsenius lineatus)

Got some really cool pics of my tank, I was bored this weekend so I bought another leaf of Ricordea, its a light neon teal. and then took a bunch of pictures...

Nice reef! I've gotten some beautiful ricordia while vacationing in florida. There are several lfs down there that I just love to visit.... I need to go again soon!

[tippMANn98]

Ok well its Monday, got some news on my Ricordea. Im gonna be a father again, my orange and green ric is almost done dividing, 1st, can i help, cuz im going no vacation and dont want it to just float anywhere, and 2nd it might be dividing twice, I might have 3 rics for the price of one @$8 AWESOME.... And I got a new ric too!!

Let me ask, have you ever seen this color before??? Looks like its splitting...

Neon "Teal?" Ric:


Green/orange Ric splitting...Can or should I help it, like i said, i would like to place it BEFORE i leave for vacation(sat 7/21): The bottom right part of it has 2 mouths, its all curled up, but when you look at it close up, you see the other base almost seperated!!


Full tank shot: I hope that green algae on top is only because tank is still maturing....?????

Looking good. Nice growth.
I would just let the rics split on thier own.

[tippMANn98]

[Craig Manoukian]
