I have two Midas blennies but I’m not sure what variant they are.
are they African Midas blenny or pacific Midas blennies.
I was told they are African.
I know african is the more colorful variety

The two variants have minimal difference as both come in yellow but some can change to a permanent blue depending on the environment they’re in.

looks like an African to me my lfs had the other typ but it was mostly grey and brown.
This is likely due to stress, a Midas blenny will be Yellow or Blue if it’s happy and not striped with brown and grey.

Thanks.
so would the one I have be the more desirable variant ?
Honestly, neither variant is more desirable, not many people really mind the variant difference as it’s minimal and both are similar in colouration if not almost identical.
