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
Leaping blenny a maximum water depth of 2 metres. They inhabit holes in limestone deposits in intertidal zones, and leap between holes when disturbed, earning them their common name. They are very social at mid-tide, using visual displays to warn off competitors and attract mates. Although they must remain moist to breathe, the blennies are able to breathe air, and avoid submersion by tide waters. Leaping blennies feed primarily off of algae. They are oviparous and form distinct pairs when mating. They can reach a maximum total length of 10 centimetres (4 inches). Leaping blenny The leaping blenny ("Alticus saliens"), also known
