Blenniella Gibbifrons
''Blenniella gibbifrons'', also known as the hump-headed blenny, bullethead rockskipper or picture rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans from East Africa in the west to the Hawaiian, Line and Ducie Islands, in the east and north to Marcus Island. It was first recorded by French biologists Quoy and Gaimard in 1824. Biology Blenniella gibbifrons inhabit the shallow water near the shore of intertidal reef flats. They prefer water from 0.5 to 1.5 m deep where the substrate consists of a thin carpet of algal turf and sand. They inhabit the water layer immediately above the bottom (benthic) . They are Oviparous with the eggs and young left to fend for themselves. Eggs are adhesive and are attached to the bottom by a threadlike, adhesive pad or pedestal . Larvae are planktonic Plankton are the diverse collection of organisms found in water (or air) that are unable to propel themselves against a current (or w ...

Salarinae
Salarinae is one of two subfamilies in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae, it is the largest of the two subfamilies in the Blennidae with 43 genera. The species in this subfamily are mainly marine, with a few species which are found in freshwater or brackish water, and a few species are known to spend much time out of the water. Classification The Salarinae was formerly divided into at least two tribes, the Parablenniini and the Salariini, largely based on their dentition. However, the differences between these two tribes were not consistent and that many taxa showed intermediate characteristics and that the subfamily should not be divided into tribes, subject to further study, and that Parablenniini and Salarinae were synonyms. The following genera are classifies as belonging to the Salarinae: * '' Aidablennius'' Whitley, 1947 * '' Alloblennius'' Smith-Vaniz & Springer, 1971 * ''Alticus'' Lacepède, 1800 * ''Andamia'' Blyth, 1858 * '' Antennablennius'' Fowler, 1931 * ' ...

Combtooth Blenny
Combtooth blennies are blenniiformids; percomorph marine fish of the family Blenniidae, part of the order Blenniiformes. They are the largest family of blennies with around 401 known species in 58 genera. Combtooth blennies are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans; some species are also found in brackish and even freshwater environments. Description The body plan of the combtooth blennies is archetypal to all other blennioids; their blunt heads and eyes are large, with large continuous dorsal fins (which may have three to 17 spines). Their bodies are compressed, elongated, and scaleless; their small, slender pelvic fins (which are absent in only two species) are situated before their enlarged pectoral fins, and their tail fins are rounded. As their name would suggest, combtooth blennies are noted for the comb-like teeth lining their jaws. By far the largest species is the eel-like hairtail blenny at 53 cm in length; most ot ...
