Etymology: Ophioblennius: Greek, ophis = serpent + Greek, blennios = mucus (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Charles Freeman Williams McClure (1865–1955) was an American anatomist and embryologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Ecologie
marien rifbewoner. Tropical
Western Central Atlantic: North Carolina, Florida, Caribbean (Bermuda population may be distinct species).
Grootte / Gewicht / Leeftijd
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.2 cm TL mannelijk / geslacht onbekend; (Ref. 26340)
Dorsale stekels (totaal) : 12; Dorsale zachte stralen (totaal) : 19 - 21; Anale stekels: 2; Anale zachte stralen: 20 - 21; Wervels: 33. Lateral line consists of 2 disconnected, elongate portions where the anterior portion overlaps with the anterior end of the ventral portion (Ref. 43469).
Adults inhabit shallow, clear waters with coral or rock bottoms (Ref. 5521). Territorial (Ref. 9710). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
