Andamia pacifica is a species of combtooth blenny which is found in the Kerama Islands near Okinawa, Japan and is probably distributed along the Ryukyu Island chain. [3] [1] It is oviparous, laying adhesive eggs on the substrate, forming distinct pairs. [4]
Salarias fasciatus, commonly known as the jewelled blenny or lawnmower blenny is a benthic, neritic, marine fish species endemic to Australasia. Despite being known as the lawnmower blenny, due to its propensity to consume algae growth in aquaria, it is principally a detritivore, with plant material making up only about 15% of its diet. The lawnmower blenny camoflauges with its surroundings, even changing color to hide itself from predators.
Alticus anjouanae is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Alticus. Fourmanoir originally placed this species in the genus Andamia. 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). Blennies in this species are oviparous and form distinct pairs when mating. They feed primarily off of benthic algae and weeds.
The Pacific leaping blenny, also known as the leaping rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Alticus. The blennies are oviparous, and form distinct pairs when mating. Males can reach a maximum total length of 8 centimetres. These fish feed primarily on benthic algae, which they consume by scraping off rocky surfaces.
Andamia amphibius is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western central Pacific Ocean, it is found in intertidal zone on exposed rocky shores of the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to a depth of 2 metres (6.6 ft). It can breathe air and will move between rock pools at low tide. It is herbivorous. It lays adhesive eggs which are attached to the rocks with a filament while the larvae are planktonic and are frequently encountered in shallow water.
