Chaenopsidae (Pike-, tube- and flagblennies)
Etymology: Neoclinus: Greek,neos = new + Greek, klinein, kline = sloping and bed, due to the four apophyses of sphenoid bone (Ref. 45335); blanchardi: Neoclinus is formed from 2 Greek words meaning "new Clinus"; blanchardi honors S.B. Blanchard, who discovered the species in San Diego and passed it on to Girard, its describer (Ref. 43439).

Usually occurs on exposed coast, on sand or hard mud bottom below low tide, rarer in bays. Usually found inside objects, especially mollusk shells, clam burrows and bottles. Demersal spawners in nearshore habitats (Ref. 56049). Female deposits eggs in clam burrows or under rocks, male guards them.
