About Ecsenius bathi Springer, 1988

Ecsenius bathi, commonly known as Bath's comb-tooth, is a species of combtooth blenny. This species is found living on coral reefs in the western central Pacific Ocean. Its specific scientific name honors German ichthyologist Hans Bath (1924–2015), who was a prominent researcher focused on blennies. Bath brought this species to the attention of the describer Springer, and permitted Springer to formally describe the species.
