Ecsenius mandibularis
Ecsenius mandibularis, known commonly as the Queensland blenny in Australia,[1] is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius.[2] It is found in coral reefs in the western Pacific ocean, including the southern edge of the Great Barrier Reef.[2] It was named by A.R. McCulloch in 1923,[3] and can reach a maximum length of 7.5 centimetres.[2] Blennies in this species feed primarily off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds,[4]
