Ecsenius niue is a species of combtooth blenny.[2] It is found in coral reefs around Niue Island, in the eastern central Pacific Ocean.[2] It can reach a maximum length of 3.1 centimetres.[2] Ecsenius niue feeds primarily off of plants, including benthic algae and weeds.[3] The specific name refers to Niue Island, so far the only location from which E. niue is known.[4]
