Enchelyurus petersi is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean, in the Red Sea. This species grows to a length of 5.4 centimetres (2.1 in) SL.[2] The specific name honours the German naturalist and explorer Wilhelm Peters (1815-1883) who named the genus Enchelyurus for the similar species E. flavipes in 1868.[3]
