I bought a Midas blenny from u guys a while back and was just wondering what is s common name for it. I think I heard Roger say it was a blue eyed Midas?? I just wasn't sure and wanted some clarification.. I remember that I was told it was from Africa if that help. Ha

I would agree as well. The one in the store is darker than mine. That however could be just his mood. Mine wasn't yellow until in my tank. They look similar except the edge of my blennies fins are blue

that is the common name, the ones I have now are from Africa (tend to be more yellow) hence African Midas Blenny
