Biology

provided by Fishbase
Adults are found in various reef habitats (Ref. 48636) especially in reef flats and tidepools (Ref. 90102) and in surf-swept reef margins. Also found in intertidal areas and is usually associated with coralline rock and coral reef lagoons (Ref. 13227). 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).

provided by wikipedia EN

The halfblack triplefin (Enneapterygius hemimelas), also known as the half-black triplefin, blackbelly triplefin, or the green-tail threefin,[2] is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Enneapterygius.[2] It was originally described by R. Kner and F. Steindachner in 1867.[3] It is a non-migratory tropical blenny known from coral reefs in the western Pacific Ocean, and has been described from the Ryukyu Islands to eastern Australia.[2] It has been recorded swimming at a depth range of 0–30 metres (0-98.4 feet).[2][4]

The halfblack triplefin is described as a "relatively large" member of the Enneapterygius hemimelas species group.[5]
