Hoping the above works - I'm trying to embed pictures from my SB photo gallery.

Above the porcupine fish, there is a thin blue fish, probably about 4" long. Didn't even know it was there, until viewed on computer. I have another picture, different angle - will do another post immediately. Already tried to embed two pics in same post and lost the first link.

I think this one is a blenny, but which? It was no bigger than 2 1/2", with black spot ("false eyes") on gill cover and the growth on the head.

i'm not 100% sure, but that may be a sharknose goby or a neon goby cleaning the porcupine fish

as to the possible blenny, i hate them suckers! i can never i.d. them correctly ... however, it may be a quillfin blenny
