Ecsenius schroederi, known commonly as the Schroeder's combtooth-blenny in Indonesia, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius.[2] It is found in coral reefs in the western Pacific ocean, specifically in Indonesia.[2] It can reach a maximum length of 7 centimetres.[2] Blennies in this species feed primarily off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds,[2] and are commercial aquarium fish.[2] The species was named in honour of the wildlife artist and scientific illustrator Jack R. Schroeder (1954–2004).[3][4]
