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.

Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 12.2 cm TL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 26340)
Espinas dorsales (total) : 12; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 19 - 21; Espinas anales: 2; Radios blandos anales: 20 - 21; Vértebra: 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).
