The Omobranchus obliquus, also known as the mangrove blenny, is a small striped invasive species of a fish in the family Blenniidae. The blenny's standard length ranges to over 5 centimeters, also being sexually dimorphic. Adult males of this species usually grow slightly larger than females, also exhibiting different features such as bright yellow pelvic fins and chin, along with an electric blue spot on the posterior half of the dorsal fin, tending to display broader longitudinal bands. Introduced in O'ahu in the 1950's, this species has been seen at Coconut Island in Kaneohe Bay, Hawai'i. It inhabits areas such as piers, pilings, buoys, and mangrove roots.

In 1951, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) stocked a concrete tank located on Coconut Island in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, with pieces of coralline rock containing Tridacna clams and other organisms collected near the Samoan Islands. In 1953, four live specimens of Omobranchus obliquus were collected from this tank. Initially, these specimens were misidentified as O. elongatus, but they were later correctly identified as Omobranchus obliquus by Springer and Gomon in 1975.
