Rhabdoblennius snowi, Snow's rockskipper or the Snow blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific ocean. This species reaches a length of 7 centimetres (2.8 in) TL.[2] The specific name of this blenny honours the collector of the type, the missionary Benjamin Galen Snow (1817-1880).[3]
