Description
The Western jumping blenny has a body which is slightly compressed and has a steep snout and a naked head, with no scales. The body is coloured greyish to greenish-grey paler underneath. It is marked with dark vertical lines on the head, lines of small dark spots on the dorsal, caudal and pectoral fins and there are irregular blotches along the flanks. It grows to a maximum standard length of 11.4 centimetres (4.5 in). The Western jumping blenny is identified from the allopatric but congeneric Eastern jumping blenny by having a deep incision between the last spine of the first dorsal fin and the first spine of the second dorsal fin, as well as having two spines in the anal fin while the eastern has none.
