Black-faced blenny Black-faced blenny The black-faced blenny ("Tripterygion delaisi") is a small benthic fish from the family Tripterygiidae (triplefin-blennies). It occurs at depths of -3 to -40 m and lives on the substrate under large rocks, cliffs or other overhangs. Like all triplefin-blennies, "T. delaisi" has three dorsal fins and can hence easily be distinguished from members of the families Blenniidae (1 dorsal fin) and Gobiidae (2 dorsal fins) that have a similar live-style and general appearance. It has a peaked head and short tentacles above the eyes.⁠ The common name yellow black-faced blenny derives from the colouration of territorial males during
Pacific leaping blenny members of "A. arnoldorum" are able to thrive on land due to their ability to twist their tails axially at 90 degrees, to propel their bodies. Hsieh noted that the twisting of the tail was a behaviourism unique to "A. arnoldorum" and species in the genus "Andamia"; the two genera were subsequently considered terrestrial. Pacific leaping blenny The Pacific leaping blenny ("Alticus arnoldorum"), also known as the leaping rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny (family Blenniidae) in the genus "Alticus". The blennies are oviparous, and form distinct pairs when mating. Males can reach a maximum total length of 8
