Starksia sangreyae, the Sangrey's blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Caribbean coasts of Belize and probably also Honduras where it is found in shallow waters at depths of from 1 to 2 m (3.3 to 6.6 ft). It was originally known as Starksia atlantica, and is also closely related to Starksia springeri. The species is named after Mary Sangrey, a scientist from Smithsonian Institution. This species can reach a length of 1.6 cm (0.63 in) SL.[3]
