Enjoyed your report; a lot of style in that report page! Nice 'first person shooter' style walk-through your week.
That photo of the dark-colored blenny sticking out is very impressive.

thanks.
That is a sailfin blenny and we found several of them right off the Buddy's pier in 10' deep water max. They are very territorial, the males anyhow, but very shy. The way you get them to come out like that is to show them their own reflection - trick them into thinking another sailfin male is attacking. Ron used a CD disk he keeps in his BC pocket (great signalling device we use when doing liveaboards, etc). He stuck the disk in the sand right in front of the sailfin's hole, he peaked out and saw the "other" blenny and came out and put on a show. He popped up his fin several times, but Ron never got a shot of it up.
how we found him:
note he is dark, almost black
seeing himself:
Another picture gives you a look at his body almost completely out:
he also changed colors, going to this light silvery-blue color.
after attacking several times, he settled back down:
