The yellowface pikeblenny (Chaenopsis limbaughi) is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Atlantic, including the Bahamas and Caribbean. It can reach a maximum length of 8.5 centimetres (3.3 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on crustaceans, finfish, and worms and can be found in the commercial aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the zoologist, diver and underwater photographer Conrad Limbaugh (1925-1960).[3]
