Ecsenius caeruliventris, known commonly as the bluebelly blenny in Indonesia, [2] is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Ecsenius. It is a tropical blenny found in the western Pacific ocean, specifically in Sulawesi, Indonesia. [2] Male Ecsenius caeruliventris can reach a maximum length of 2.4 centimetres, while females can reach a maximum length of 2.37 centimetres; [2] it is one of the smallest blennies in Ecsenius. [3] The species name means "sky-blue belly" from the Latin words caeruleus and ventris, referring to the blue abdomen on the species; the common name is derived from this. The species is most similar to its sister taxon E. shirleyae and E. bandanus. [3]
Ecsenius caeruliventris are oviparous, and guard their eggs. [2] The blennies swim at a depth range of 3–5 metres. [2]
