Labrisomus wigginsi
Labrisomus wigginsi, the Baja blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny endemic to the Pacific coast of Baja California.[2] This species is only known from shallow, weed-grown rocky areas and also from tide pools where it is known to occur down to a depth of about 9 metres (30 ft).[1] The specific name honours the collector of the type, the botanist Ira L. Wiggins (1899-1987) of Stanford University.[3]
