Ceratobregma is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae.
Threefin or triplefin blennies are blenniiforms, small percomorph marine fish of the family Tripterygiidae. Found in tropical and temperate waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, the family contains about 150 species in 30 genera. The family name derives from the Greek tripteros meaning "with three wings".
The yellow-and-black triplefin, Forsterygion flavonigrum, a triplefin of the genus Forsterygion, is found around the north of the North Island of New Zealand at depths of between 15 and 30 m, in reef areas of broken rock. Its length is between 4 and 7 cm.
The oblique-swimming triplefin, Forsterygion maryannae, is a triplefin, found along the north east coast of the North Island of New Zealand from depths of about 5 m to 50 m. They are the only triplefins not to spend most of their time resting on the bottom, instead swimming in loose schools of up to hundreds of individuals above rocky reefs. When swimming their head is higher than the tail, giving rise to their common name.
The variable triplefin or striped triplefin, Forsterygion varium, is a triplefin native to New Zealand, but also introduced to Tasmania, Australia, most likely in shipments of osyters. It is found in rock pools and depths down to 30 metres, in reef areas of broken rock with kelp.
Helcogramma is a genus in the triplefin family Tripterygiidae. The blennies in the genus Helcogramma are found throughout the Indo-Pacific and in the South Atlantic Ocean off the islands of St Helena and Ascension.
Helcogramma striatum, commonly called the tropical striped triplefin, the striped threefin or the neon triplefin, is a triplefin blenny of the genus Helcogramma, native from the central Indo-Pacific.
Enneapterygius is a genus of fish in the family Tripterygiidae found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Apopterygion is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae. It has two described species.
Axoclinus is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae. This genus has sex described species. It is restricted to the eastern tropical Pacific.
Enneanectes is a genus of triplefin fish in the family Tripterygiidae.
Helcogrammoides is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae. The species in this genus are found in South America and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Springerichthys is a genus of triplefins in the family Tripterygiidae. The two species in this genus are found in the western Pacific Ocean.
The southern barred triplefin, Brachynectes fasciatus, is a triplefin of the family Tripterygiidae and only member of the genus Brachynectes, found around Australia's south coast including Tasmania at depths down to 13 m. Its length is only up to about 41 mm.
The lizard triplefin, Crocodilichthys gracilis, is a fish of the family Tripterygiidae and only member of the genus Crocodilichthys, found in the Gulf of California in the eastern Central Pacific at depths down to 38 m. Its length is only up to about 64 mm.
The giant triplefin, Blennodon dorsale, is a triplefin of the family Tripterygiidae, the only member of the genus Blennodon, found around the coast of New Zealand. It length is up to 15 cm, and it is the largest known triplefin species.
Axoclinus cocoensis, known commonly as the Cocos triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny. It is found only on shallow reefs around Cocos Island in the eastern Pacific Ocean, part of Costa Rica.
Ceratobregma acanthops, known commonly as the spotted spiny-eye triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny which is found off north-eastern Australia.
Ceratobregma helenae, known commonly as the Helen's triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny. It has an Indo-Pacific distribution from Christmas Island to Samoa, north to Taiwan and south to south eastern Australia. The species is named after Wouter Holleman's wife, Helen.
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.
