Ecsenius bathi

Ecsenius bathi, known commonly as the Bath's comb-tooth,[2] is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Pacific ocean.[2] The specific name honours the German ichthyologist Hans Bath (1924-2015) who was a notable worker on blennies and who brought this species to Springer's attention and allowed him to describe it.[3]
