Emblemariopsis randalli
- Group: Blenny
- Typical depth: 3–9 m
- Max size: 3.2 cm
- For divers: safe
- IUCN status: DD
A tiny blenny of shallow sand and rock that gathers in tight groups perched over coral heads. Black territorial males hold burrows and are challenged by passing pale fish, while the rest pick zooplankton from the water; so little is known of it that the IUCN lists it as data deficient.
