Ecsenius melarchus, known commonly as the yellow-eyed comb-tooth or the Java combtooth-blenny in Indonesia, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius. It is found in coral reefs in the western Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 5 centimetres. Blennies in this species primarily feed off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds, and are commercial aquarium fish.[2] The specific name "melarchus" is Latin for "black anus", and refers to the black anal marking on the blennies in this species.[3]
