Adelotremus deloachi, the spotfin fangblenny, is a species of combtooth blenny from the western Pacific Ocean in Indonesia.[1] The type and paratypes were collected from Bali and the Lembeh Strait. The specimens were collected from depths of 10–17 metres (33–56 ft) from sandy slopes.[2] The specific name honours Ned Deloach, an author and photographer who has written about reef fishes and raised awareness of their conservation.[3]
