Similarities between these two species include "broad, darkly dusky bands and stripes" and "dark opercular margin , which are not found in other members of the "Opsifrontalis Group". Preserved specimens also bear similarity to '' E. opsifrontalis''. However, ''E. australianus'' differ from ''E. opsifrontalis'' and ''E. fourmanoiri'' by their number of fins rays and vertebrae. Description Australian blennies are small fish, reaching lengths of only . The dorsal two-thirds of the body is reddish-brown, with white spots forming two rows. The ventral third is white in colour.
