Enneapterygius Atrogulare
''Enneapterygius atrogulare'' is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus ''Enneapterygius''.Blackthroat triplefin
at www.fishbase.org.
Although it is known as the blackthroat triplefin in the United Kingdom, it is also known as the ring-scale triplefin, black triplefin, eastern white-barred threefin, ringed triplefin, eastern Australian blackhead triplefin or the saddled triplefin in Australia. It is a subtropical, non-Diel vertical migration, migratory blenny found in coral reefs in the western Pacific Ocean, around Australia and Tonga. Blackthroat triplefins swim at a depth range of 0–5 metres, and both juveniles and adults feed primarily on benthic algae, weeds, and invertebrates.

Enneapterygius Atriceps
The Hawaiian blackhead triplefin (''Enneapterygius atriceps''), also known as the Hawaiian triplefin in Hawaii, is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus ''Enneapterygius''. It is a tropical blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean, from the Hawaiian Islands, French Frigate Shoals, Laysan Island, and Midway Atoll. Blennies in this species swim at a depth range of 1–23 metres, and inhabit dead coral and rock. It was originally described by O.P. Jenkins in 1903, as a species of ''Tripterygion'', but was reassigned to ''Enneapterygius'' by R. Fricke in 1997. Description The Hawaiian blackhead triplefin is considered part of the '' Enneapterygius hemimelas'' species group. It is considered a small or medium member of the group, with males reaching a maximum length of 2.6 centimetres. Males can be distinguished from females by their dark head colouring.

Enneapterygius Clea
''Enneapterygius clea'', or Clea's triplefin, is a species of threefin blenny in the genus ''Enneapterygius'', described by German ichthyologist Ronald Fricke in 1997. It is endemic to Queensland, Australia. Etymology ''Enneapterygius clea'' was described by Ronald Fricke in 1997, from a male holotype (AMS I.22600-056) and 34 paratype specimens. He gave the blenny its species epithet, "''clea''", and its common name in honour of his daughter Clea, then seven years old. Description Fricke described ''Enneapterygius clea'' as a medium-sized member of the '' Enneapterygius hemimelas'' species group, and considered it to be most closely related to the blacktail triplefin ('' Enneapterygius bahasa'') and the redtail triplefin ('' Enneapterygius rubicauda''), both from the western Pacific Ocean. Clea's triplefins have yellow-orange bodies with red streaks, orange vertical fins and blue-gray eyes. Males have black heads and tails, while the females do not share this feature. Male Clea' ...

''Enneapterygius elegans'', the hourglass triplefin (or elegant triplefin in the United Kingdom), is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus ''Enneapterygius''. It was originally described by Wilhelm Peters as a species of ''Tripterygium'', in 1876, but was reassigned to ''Enneapterygius'' by W. Holleman in 1986.

Enneapterygius Abeli
The yellow triplefin (''Enneapterygius abeli''),> also known as the Abel's triplefin in South Africa, is a species of triplefin in the genus ''Enneapterygius''. Males in this species can reach a maximum length of 2.5 centimetres. The blennies are generally bright yellow in colour, and males have black heads. They feed mostly on benthic invertebrates. In 1960, Wolfgang Klausewitz described the species, originally assigning it to the genus ''Tripterygion'' under "''T. abeli''". It was later reassigned to ''Helcogramma'', before being reassigned to ''Enneapterygius'' by W. Holleman in 2005. The fish is named in honor of Austrian biologist Erich F. Abel (1919-1995) of the University of Vienna, who worked on the ecology and ethology of fishes of the Mediterranean and the Red Sea, and who donated the type specimens from the Red Sea to the Senckenberg Museum. Distribution The yellow triplefin is a tropical blenny found in coral reefs located in the western Indian Ocean; in t ...
