Andamia expansa is a species of combtooth blenny which is known from a few specimens from the eastern Indian Ocean, with the type being collected in the Andaman Islands.[3] The IUCN rate it as Data Deficient because its taxonomy is unclear.[1] It forms pairs and lays adhesive eggs on the substrates.[4]
