I was thinking the same thing as Mobious but the "sand sifter" part had me thrown for a loop. This is another good example of why common names are a disaster. They probably meant "blenny" and not "blemmie." There are hundreds of fish that have the word "dragon" as part of their common name. There are 127 genera and 732 species of "true" blennies, but the so-called Scooter Blenny is not among them--it is actually a dragonet. Well, usually it is a dragonet but you can never be certain since there are at least 8 or 10 different species of fish that are sold as Scooter Blennies. Ninong
