Enneanectes carminalis

Enneanectes carminalis, known commonly as the carmine triplefin or the delicate triplefin in Mexico and the United Kingdom,[2] is a species of triplefin blenny.[2] It is a tropical blenny known from reefs from Mexico to Panama, in the eastern central Pacific Ocean.[2] It was originally described by D.S. Jordan and C.H. Gilbert in 1882, as Tripterygium carminale.[3] Blennies in this species can reach a maximum length of 3 centimetres,[2] and feed primarily off of benthic algae and invertebrates.[2]
