''Ophioblennius atlanticus'', also known as the "redlip blenny" and the "horseface blenny", is a species of combtooth blenny, family Blenniidae, found primarily in the western central Atlantic ocean. Redlip blennies can be found in coral crests and shallow fringing reefs. They are highly territorial and attack intruders with two long, sharp canine teeth. The adults are found at depths of 10 to 20 meters, and the eggs are benthic. The adults may reach up to four inches in length when fully grown, and they have large reddish lips, from which they attained their names. Redlip blennies largely feed on algae. Deloach and Humann spent over two decades researching this animal in Barbados (1980-1999). ==Taxonomy== The species was originally described by French zoologist Achille Valenciennes in 1836.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=126769 )〕 ''Ophis'' is Greek for "serpent", and ''blennios'' is Greek for "mucus." The species name ''atlanticus'' is the name for its location of capture. The common name, redlip, refers to the reddish color of its lips.
