Ecsenius fourmanoiri, the blackstriped combtooth blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius.[2] It is found in the western Pacific ocean.[2] It can reach a maximum length of 4.9 centimetres.[2] Blennies in this species feed primarily off of benthic algae and weeds.[2] The specific name honours the French ichthyologist Pierre Fourmanoir (1924-2007), who collected the first specimens of this species and realised that it had not been described.[3]
