I took this shot in Cayman Brac a few weeks ago. I didn't see anything quite like it in the Humann/Deloach book but found similar pics on-line indicating it is a Rhinoceros Blenny. Any other ideas?

Not at all looking like a Rhinoceros Blenny, also called a Marbled Blenny, scientific name
Paraclinus marmoratus. No big "horn" sticking up from his head.

Looks like a common Roughhead Blenny. The orange iris and the very branched cirri are clues.

Yes, I see that now. Agree with Roughhead Blenny.
Thanks!
