Ecsenius stictus
Ecsenius stictus, known commonly as the Great Barrier Reef blenny,[1] is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius.[2] It is found in the Great Barrier Reef, and around the Chesterfield Islands.[2] It was named by Victor Grushcka Springer in 1988,[3] and can reach a maximum length of 5.8 centimetres.[2] Blennies in this species feed primarily off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds.[4]
