Ophioblennius macclurei, the redlip blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the western Atlantic ocean. This species reaches a length of 12.2 centimetres (4.8 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the American comparative anatomist and embryologist Charles Freeman Williams McClure (1865–1955) in recognition of his work on the lymphatic systems of fishes.[3]
