Alticus anjouanae is a species of combtooth blenny (family Blenniidae) in the genus Alticus. Fourmanoir originally placed this species in the genus Andamia.[4] It is a tropical blenny known from Comoros, Seychelles, and Réunion, in the western Indian Ocean. Males can reach a maximum total length of 7.6 centimetres (2.99 inches).[1] Blennies in this species are oviparous and form distinct pairs when mating.[5] They feed primarily off of benthic algae and weeds.[6]
