Biology

provided by Fishbase
Adults occur on rocky substrates in association with coral reefs or coral reef lagoons, from shallow areas to the outer reef slope, also in intertidal rock pools (Ref. 13227, 27223). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).

Enneapterygius flavoccipitis

provided by wikipedia EN

Enneapterygius flavoccipitis, the yellownape triplefin or northern bicoloured triplefin, in Australia, is a species of threefin blenny in the genus Enneapterygius.[2]

Etymology

The species was originally described by German ichthyologist Ronald Fricke in 1994, as Enneapterygius 1994.[3] It was later identified by Hoese et al. in 2006[4] as a synonym of E. flavoccipitis, described by S.C. Shen in 1994, less than 6 weeks prior to Fricke's description of E. bichrous.[5]

Description

The yellownape triplefin is described as a medium-sized species in the Enneapterygius flavoccipitis species group, which also includes the black triplefin (Enneapterygius niger) and William's triplefin (Enneapterygius williamsi).[3] Males can reach a maximum length of 2.7 centimetres (1.06 inches).[2]

Distribution

The yellownape triplefin inhabits coral reefs, coral reef lagoons, and intertidal rock pools in Temperate waters in the western central Pacific Ocean, and has been described from the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, the Philippines, Timor Sea, Australia, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, and Indonesia.[3] It has recorded swimming at a depth range of 0–22 metres (0-72.2 feet).[2]
