Ecsenius pulcher is a gorgeous and colorful blenny from Oman that we’ve never seen in the hobby before, but which might soon be making a debut in the slip stream of the Omani clownfish. The latin name of the ‘gulf blenny’ actually means beautiful and it might as well be called the tiger blenny or tiger striped midas blenny because it sure does closely resemble the common and popular Ecsenius bicolor midas blenny that reside in thousands of reef tanks around the world.

Thank you Lee and School of Fish!
Three weeks ago Jake Adams reported this fish has never been seen in hobby. Two days ago I added this gorgeous fish to my tank.
Now if only he would pose nicely so I might add a picture of him here... 
 
LOVE my Ecsenius pulcher - named him Omar from Oman.

Since April has gotten along with my assorted other blennies and gobies. However, it doesn't like new tailspot blenny... one of the two is getting caught and moving into another tank.
