I have a algae eating blenny about 3 in long with the head to mid body is a mottled marron color and the last half is a cream color. I thought it was a scooter but all photos that ive seen, the mottling is the length of the body. Can someone identify this without a photo. Dont know how to send photo. Thanks

A scooter (which isn't a blennie at all) will have a small mouth. Algae blennies have a wide mouth with a pronounced upper lip.

There are a bunch of blennies with different coloring head to tail (bicolor, flame tail, etc), but the mottling in combination with that doesn't ring a bell with me.
