Malacoctenus delalandii is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea from Guatemala to Brazil . This species is an inhabitant of coral reefs being found in sandy areas and around beds of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum. It can reach a length of 8.2 centimetres (3.2 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the French explorer and naturalist Pierre Antoine Delalande (1787-1823), who collected the type.[3]
