Caribbean ?Blenny

My guess would be the Yellowface Pikeblenny (Chaenopsis limbaughi). Little bit hard to tell from just the head. If it's not the Yellowface, it's most likely some kind of pikeblenny.

Many thanks, Brian. I did think some kind of pikeblenny but couldn't find anything similar in the usual books.

Could be an Arrow Blenny? They hide in holes and do not retreat like a pikeblenny does.

Thanks. Yeah, could be. I guess there's just not enough to really be able to ID it.

Below are a couple much more terrible pics of similar fish in Cozumel. From the pictures in this app

it looks like the yellowface pikeblenny can be pretty variable in color.

Oh cool! Many thanks for that.
