Need name on this blenny

[ReefChief]

Anyone know the name of this blenny? Seen it at my LFS store but he couldn'y remember his name. Tried looking for him on internet but couldn't find exact same blenny. LFS named his "plaid blenny"

I was looking at this and could not match it up. Maybe you can or someone else has a guess.

Pictures Summary

Thanks for your help on the name, this is the one I like. I plan on keeping corals, do you have any idea whether they will nip at my corals and possible destroy them? It says they do but maybe you know of them really not destroying corals, otherwise I will have to pass on this fish.

I doubt it's Crossosalarias macrospilus. It looks like Hypsoblennius exstochilus to me. Do an image search on that name for comparison.

I just found a few minutes to do an image search for myself, and this one threw up the same photo you have ... identified as H. exstochilus: http://www.theboxofwater.com/products.php?product=Horned-Blenny-(Hypsoblennius-exstochilus)
