Omobranchus punctatus, the muzzled blenny or the spotted oyster blenny is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Ocean.[2]
It is distinguished from other blennies by the small gill openings that are restricted to the sides of the head above the dorsal-most level of the pectoral fin base.[3] Males have distinct horizontal stripes across the body, while females have less distinct markings.[4]
