Doesn't look like a tadpole fish ,i've caught a few ,looks more like a blenny of some sort ,pity the pics weren't a bit clearer .
tadpole fish tend to be smooth skinned big flat broad head and dark brown/black and white mouth .check the fish id on start page think there's a link to old gallery with a pic i posted of tadpole fish .

def not a yarrels or tompot blenny ,read up a bit and looks like a shanny(as opposed to blenny) in breeding colours ,nasty wee buggers can give you a nasty nip for all the size of them
