Stathmonotus stahli, the eelgrass blenny or the seagrass blenny, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the western Atlantic ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the Puerto Rican physician and biologist Agustín Stahl (1842-1917).[3]
