Acanthemblemaria paula, known commonly as the Dwarf spinyhead blenny in the United States, is a species of chaenopsid blenny in the genus Acanthemblemaria. It is found in coral reefs around Belize, in the western central Atlantic ocean. It was named by G. D. Johnson and E. B. Brothers in 1989, and can reach a maximum length of 1.8 centimetres. The blennioid family Chaenopsidae includes the pike-blennies, tube-blennies and flagblennies: all perciform marine fish. The family is strictly tropical, ranging from North to South America. There are 14 genera and 90 species represented, the largest being the sarcastic fringehead, Neoclinus blanchardi, at 30 centimetres (12 in) in length; most are much smaller, and the group includes perhaps the smallest of all vertebrates, Acanthemblemaria paula, measuring just 1.3 centimetres (0.51 in) long as an adult.
