Diagnosis: Dorsal fin XII, 15, membrane attached to caudal fin, with deep notch above last spine, first spine almost same or slightly higher than second; anal fin II, 16; pectoral rays 15; pelvic fin I, 4; caudal fin procurrent rays 10-14. Vertebrae 10 + 21. LL, without scales and scalelike flaps; LL tubes 2-11 (usually 5-9), canal ends below 15th dorsal ray to caudal-fin base. Upper lip crenulae 41-47. Gill rakers 19-24. Cephalic sensory pore complex. Cirri, supraorbital 2-4, nasal 8-19; nuchal 34-44, row uninterrupted, without nuchal flap, cirri connected at their bases by a membranous ridge. Adults and juveniles anterior body light rose with black spots and 2 broad bars, posteriorly dark purple or blue with white spots, cirri pale. Ophioblennius overall cream with small dark brown spot on posterior of lower lip (in alcohol) (Ref. 529).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal; Cross section: oval.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults inhabit shallow coral reefs (Ref. 529). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
