hermit crab
I came across this hermit crab which drew my attention due to the shiny surface. On closer examination of the photo it seems that the shiny surface is from another organism stuck onto the shell of the hermit crab. Would appreciate if someone could identify

Dalmatian blenny ?
I believe that the species shown in teh picture is a Dalmatian blenny (Microplippophrys dalmatinus). It was very small (2-3cm) and barely visble due to the pale coloration.

Sphinx blenny
I believe that this is a Sphinx blenny (Aidablennius sphinx) however, it was relatively very small (~ 4cm) and extremely wary. In fact it just dashed into this small hole in the rock and didn't move out even if I move away. What was of interest was the strong coloration. I thought it could be a male protecting its nest but then the size was rather too small to be an adult.

Ringneck Blenny ?
I came across this small blenny species ( ~ 6cm) which I think is either a Ringneck blenny Parablennius pilicornis) or possibly a Dalmatian blenny (Microliporphrrys dalmatinus), however none of the pictures found in teh guide I use correspond fully with the picture. I thought it's the former due to the dark spot on the dorsal fin but then the picture of teh yellow phase in the guide is totally different from mine. I have other photos from different angles but I think that this one offers the ebst description.
