Gobioclinus kalisherae, the downy blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the western Atlantic Ocean from south Florida to Brazil.
This species prefers habitats which provide crevices or holes to hide in such as areas of rubble or rock and coral reefs. It can reach a length of 7.5 centimetres (3.0 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the painter Emilia Kalisher (1868-1959), at the request of her future husband Joseph Cheesman Thompson (1874-1943).[3]
