Ecsenius lubbocki, the Lubbock's combtooth-blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius. It is found in coral reefs in Phuket, Thailand, in the eastern Indian Ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 4 centimetres. Blennies in this species feed primarily off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds.[2] The specific name honours the English marine biologist Hugh Roger Lubbock (1951–1981), the collector of the type specimens, he recognised that they were a new species of Ecsenius.[3]
