Hey, just bought this Hugo look-alike, but not sure just what type it is, any of you have one of these or have you heard about it?

Thanks in Advance

Good bunch-o-folks there, including Bob Fenner.

Nice fish by the way!

I would have to say it's either an orange spot or a salfin/Algae blenny. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...d=21&pCatId=94

It's hard to get the coloration right from that picture.

I don't know, but that's a very cool blenny. Congrats!!

BoomerD · 01-10-2004, 11:45 AM

Thanks for all the response, but I have bad news

Are all Blennies jumpers?
