Chaenopsis is a genus of pikeblennies found in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
There are currently 10 recognized species in this genus: [1]
Gymnothorax is a genus of fish in the family Muraenidae found in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. With more than 120 species, it the most speciose genus of moray eels.
Apogon is a large genus of fish in the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes. They are among the most common fish on coral reefs. Over 200 species have been classified in genus Apogon as members of several subgenera. Some of these subgenera, such as Ostorhinchus, have been elevated to genus status, leaving just over 50 species in the genus.
Elacatinus is a genus of small marine gobies, often known collectively as the neon gobies. Although only one species, E. oceanops, is technically the "neon goby," because of their similar appearance, other members of the genus are generally labeled neon gobies, as well. Except for a single East Pacific species, all reside in warmer parts of the West Atlantic, including the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. They are known for engaging in symbiosis with other marine creatures by providing them cleaning service that consists of getting rid of ectoparasites on their bodies. In return, Elacatinus species obtain their primary source of food, ectoparasites.
Lucayablennius zingaro, the arrow blenny, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs around the Bahamas and the Caribbean, in the western central Atlantic ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 3.8 centimetres (1.5 in) TL. This species is the only known member of its genus.
The Cortez pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found around the Isla Angel de la Guarda, in the Gulf of California, in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It has not been recorded since 1965. The specific name honours Daniel M. Cohen (1930-2017) of Stanford University who accompanied Böhlke on the expedition that collected the type.
The Delta pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found from Costa Rica to Colombia, in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 7.5 centimetres (3.0 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on zooplankton.
The yellow-mouth pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the eastern central Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL. The specific name honours the carcinologist Waldo L. Schmitt (1887-1977) who was Curator of the Division of Marine Invertebrates in the US National Museum and who was responsible for the collection of the two types.
The yellowface pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Atlantic, including the Bahamas and Caribbean. It can reach a maximum length of 8.5 centimetres (3.3 in) TL. This species feeds primarily on crustaceans, finfish, and worms and can be found in the commercial aquarium trade. The specific name honours the zoologist, diver and underwater photographer Conrad Limbaugh (1925-1960).
Chaenopsis resh is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs around Venezuela and Colombia, in the western central Atlantic Ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) TL.
Chaenopsis stephensi is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs around Venezuela and Yucatan, Mexico, in the western central Atlantic ocean. The specific name honours the environmental biologist John S. Stephens, Jr.
Chaenopsis megalops is a species of chaenopsid blenny found around Colombia, in the western central Atlantic Ocean.
The bluethroat pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the western Atlantic ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 12.5 centimetres (4.9 in) TL. It can also be found in the commercial aquarium trade.
The flecked pikeblenny is a species of chaenopsid blenny found around the United States in the western Atlantic ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 4.2 centimetres (1.7 in) SL.
Haptoclinus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to the western central Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
Ophidion is a genus of cusk-eels.
Protammodytes is a genus of sand lances found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Coryphopterus is a genus of gobies mostly found in the western Atlantic Ocean though a couple species are found in the Indian and/or Pacific oceans.
Evermannichthys is a genus of gobies native to the Atlantic coast of the Americas including the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.
Lythrypnus is a genus of gobies native to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the Americas including Cocos Island and the Galapagos Islands.
Lipogramma is a genus of fish in the family Grammatidae native to the Atlantic Ocean.
