Emblemariopsis randalli

Emblemariopsis randalli, the Hornless blenny, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs around Cubagua, Venezuela, in the western central Atlantic ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 3.8 centimetres (1.5 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on zooplankton.[2] The specific name honours the ichthyologist John Ernest Randall who collected the type specimens and provided them to Fernando Cervigón for him to describe.[3]
