Heteroclinus whiteleggii, Whitelegg's weedfish, is a species of clinid native to reefs around New South Wales, Australia . This species can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the naturalist Thomas Whitelegge (1850-1927) who was a friend of Ogilby's friend and who collected the type.[3]
