Jose the Dbag (sorry mods but he has earned the name)

My lawnmower blenny may be seeking a new home! Those of you who have been by my place have gotten to see him and heard the stories. He has amazing colors for a lawnmower, not just the grays, browns, and tans, but blues, purples, reds, and yellows mixed in. The problems are he loves to knock frags in the sand. Not to just knock them over but it gives him a chance for his favorite thing. BITING ME! I came home from a JARC meeting today to find most of the frags from my rack in the sand. As I was retrieving them he bit me 7 different times, 1 drawing blood (not much but still!) After every bite he would do a little victory dance across the front of the tank. I was using my big feeding baster to block him but he would sqeeze through the rocks just to get me. As much as I love his colors and how cool he looks, the biting is getting old! He may not make it into the new tank, maybe the sump, or a frying pan!!!

I can relate, my darn clown started doing the same thing, anytime I stick my hand in the tank to do anything he bites, I think its because he is expecting food because when I don't feed frozen I take the flakes between my fingers and stick them right on my vortech so it shoots it all over in the tank, so I think anytime my hand goes in he thinks food. But it got old quick, now anytime I stick my hand in I have to have my tongs in the other hand to beat him away, LOL, it sucks though doesn't it!!!

I don't him any full body pics but you can see some of the colors in these. His whole body has that purple and blue speckling

My wife calls him the chameleon because he changes colors as the day goes on
