Tamberav Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Will have to see a pic. Midas can vary in color when stress but also come in a few color forms. Yellow and blue but mine was pink for awhile. He turns dark brown/black and blotchy when stressed. Link to comment
KennioSays Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Will post better pics later . Sorry guys my fiance is super drunk and super talkative Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Can't see the coloring clearly, but he's in camo-mode (white blotches/specks on body) so I'm guessing he's stressed out atm. Give it a few days, or try to snap a pic of him under non-blue lighting if possible. The tail makes it look like a forktail blenny but the eye markings are absent. So I'm guessing it's a severely stressed Midas, and possibly a bluish/black variant. I could be wrong though. Link to comment
KennioSays Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Yeah maybe the lfs had him for a week he got a shipment of three Midas blenny which one was yellow and sold the other one was a bi color blenny and than this guy . Its definitely not a forktail Link to comment
KennioSays Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v505/beakerbob/Fish/BlackBlenny.jpg very similiar to that so it's a black Midas blenny? Link to comment

Its definitely not a forktail Maybe this guy? http://www.myfishtank.net/saltwater-fish/blennies/black-combtooth-blenny/] I believe it is also called a tribal blenny. They don't always have very pronounced markings. So... Ecsenius namiyei is my best guess. Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Just a head's up - if it's a Tribal, don't ever put it in a reef tank. They'll munch on all your corals, yes, even LPS. Link to comment
KennioSays Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hmmm the tribal has the same head type as the Midas but yeah it. Does look like that however the tribal has a wider back end and a short stubby tail this one doesn't Link to comment
Tamberav Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 May be a African blue midas blenny. I have a blue one. His eyes are black and his body is a dark shimmery blue. Midas can change colors dramatically. Mine was light blue/black > yellow/pink > dark blue/black. When stressed, they get splotchy. It's just too hard to tell from the pics. Here is some blue ones: Link to comment
1.0reef Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I don't think that's a Midas based off the shape of its face and caudal fin. Link to comment
KennioSays Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Update. So I did manage to get better pics and will upload them soon. The fish it still black on the upper half and grey on the bottom half but now his bottom fin and tail fins are completely yellow Link to comment
Snow_Phoenix Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemDisplay.cfm?c=2733+3&ddid=241721 A blue Midas and Yellow Midas hybrid, possibly? Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 No, they're geographical variants, that's just a stressed out blue one. Okay. Then this is one strange mysterious blenny. Link to comment
KennioSays Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 Well his complete lower half and tail is now yellow and the top is pitch black lol Link to comment
peasofme Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 either one of those two or this http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+23+2671&pcatid=2671 i've heard bicolors come in brown as well Link to comment
1.0reef Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Can't be that, it has caudal streamers. I don't even think this is a Blenny anymore, a better shot of the head would really help. Link to comment
