Combtooth Blenny
Combtooth blennies are blenniiformids; percomorph marine fish of the family Blenniidae, part of the order Blenniiformes. They are the largest family of blennies with around 401 known species in 58 genera. Combtooth blennies are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans; some species are also found in brackish and even freshwater environments. Description The body plan of the combtooth blennies is archetypal to all other blennioids; their blunt heads and eyes are large, with large continuous dorsal fins (which may have three to 17 spines). Their bodies are compressed, elongated, and scaleless; their small, slender pelvic fins (which are absent in only two species) are situated before their enlarged pectoral fins, and their tail fins are rounded. As their name would suggest, combtooth blennies are noted for the comb-like teeth lining their jaws. By far the largest species is the eel-like hairtail blenny at 53 cm in length; most ...

Salarinae
Salarinae is one of two subfamilies in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae, it is the largest of the two subfamilies in the Blennidae with 43 genera. The species in this subfamily are mainly marine, with a few species which are found in freshwater or brackish water, and a few species are known to spend much time out of the water. Classification The Salarinae was formerly divided into at least two tribes, the Parablenniini and the Salariini, largely based on their dentition. However, the differences between these two tribes were not consistent and that many taxa showed intermediate characteristics and that the subfamily should not be divided into tribes, subject to further study, and that Parablenniini and Salarinae were synonyms. The following genera are classifies as belonging to the Salarinae: * '' Aidablennius'' Whitley, 1947 * '' Alloblennius'' Smith-Vaniz & Springer, 1971 * ''Alticus'' Lacepède, 1800 * ''Andamia'' Blyth, 1858 * '' Antennablennius'' Fowler, 1931 * ' ...
