Ekemblemaria myersi, the reefsand blenny, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found from the Gulf of California to Colombia, in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 7 centimetres (2.8 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on zoobenthos.[2] The specific name honours the ichthyologist George S. Myers (1905-1985) of Stanford University.[3]
