Ecsenius trilineatus, known commonly as the Three-lined blenny in Australia, and the White-spotted comb-tooth or the White-spotted combtooth blenny in Indonesia,[1] is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius.[2] It is a non-migoratory species of blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Pacific ocean.[2] It can reach a maximum length of 3 centimetres.[2] Blennies in this species feed primarily off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds,[3] and are commercial aquarium fish, but of no interest in fisheries.[2]
