Entomacrodus marmoratus, also called marbled blenny or pāo'o in Hawaiian, is a species of blenny endemic to Hawaii.[2] It is commonly found in rocky reefs around the coast of the Hawaiian Islands. It is also found in tide pools.[1] It is recognized by an "eyelash". It has fins that are used to jump out of the water and to navigate the tide pools.[3] Its maximum length is about 8 cm (3.1 in).[4] They live down to a depth of 6 m (20 ft).[1]
