Istiblennius muelleri, Mueller's rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Pacific ocean. Males of this species can reach a maximum of 7 cm (2.8 in) SL, while females can reach a maximum of 5.5 cm (2.2 in) SL.[2] The specific zoology honours the German-Australian physician, geographer, and botanist Ferdinand von Mueller (1825-1896).[3]
