Posting to this forum, as this guy looks like it slithers and swims like an eel or a lung fish ... the lable said: Kelp Poacher. I haven't found much info. Can you confirm ... anyone have comments or thoughts? Thanks!
He's pretty cool - in our saltwater 90 gal with one Porky Puffer, Trigger and Wrasse ... very swimmy. :)

Yup, Congrogadus subducens, the green wolf eel/blenny/giant dottyback.

Yes, much more information using that name. Thanks. Interesting, the owner of Absolutely Fish in NJ (http://www.absolutelyfish.com) looked it up in his 'big book of fish' too. He was pretty certain - either way, I see plenty of info on the Green Wolf. He's doing very well - very outgoing, but the Puffer is grabbing all the food ... I need to distract him, while Mr. Wolf grabs a few pieces ...
I have one of my FishCams pointed toward his side of the tank ... you may be able to catch a live view of him here: http://www.sandeeland.com/FishCam - static pix below, press F5 to refresh ...
