Leaping blenny

The leaping blenny, also known as the jumping blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus "Alticus". There is some uncertainty as to whether it was first described by J.R. Forster in 1788 or B.G.E. Lacepède in 1800, although Fishbase currently accredits it to Forster. It was originally described as a member of the genus "Blennius".
