Andamia amphibius is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western central Pacific Ocean,[2] it is found in intertidal zone on exposed rocky shores of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to a depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft). It can breathe air and will move between rock pools at low tide. It is herbivorous.[1] It lays adhesive eggs which are attached to the rocks with a filament while the larvae are planktonic and are frequently encountered in shallow water.[2]
