Ophiclinus gabrieli, the Frosted snake-blenny, is a species of clinid native to Amphibolis seagrass in the coastal waters of southern Australia. It can reach a maximum length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the Australian pharmacist and conchologist Charles John Gabriel (1879-1963), the collector of the type.[3]
