This little guy was caught in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. I have asked many, many people and can't find the answer. What is it?

Definitely a bottom-dweller, possibly in the blenny family... will have a look on http://fishbase.org for you...

"Extending a sea ethic would mean recognizing the ocean’s importance to the continued existence of life on our planet and to human futures. From this recognition would flow an appropriate sense of moral imperative, commitment, and urgency—urgency toward ending overfishing and wasteful bycatch and aggressively rebuilding depleted ocean wildlife populations, stabilizing human effects on world climate, slowing habitat destruction, stemming global transport and accidental introduction of "alien" species, curbing the flow of contaminants and trash, developing sustainable seafood farming, cultivating an informed approach to the seafood marketplace, and implementing networks of protected areas in the sea." - Dr. Carl Safina

I saw the question on Fishbase.
It looks like a labriosomid blenny to me, perhaps "hairy blenny" Labrisomus nuchipinni?
All the best from Denmark

Thank you! If it's not http://fishbase.org/Summary/speciesSumm ... uchipinnis as you suggest then it's very close. It looks so familiar, wish it was an underwater shot showing his natural colors.
