Ecsenius lividanalis, known commonly as the blue-head combtooth-blenny in Indonesia and also known as the blue-headed combtooth blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius . It is found in coral reefs throughout the western Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 5 centimetres. [2] Blennies in this species feed primarily off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds, and are commercial aquarium fish. [2] There are two colour forms of this blenny, both of which have a black spot around the anus. One form has a blue head with a yellow body and iris while the other form is dark, occasionally all yellow, with a bluish-white iris, a yellow back and a yellow caudal fin. [3]
