Alticus Arnoldorum
The Pacific leaping blenny (''Alticus arnoldorum''), also known as the leaping rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny (family Blenniidae) in the genus ''Alticus''. The blennies are oviparous, and form distinct pairs when mating. Males can reach a maximum total length of 8 centimetres (3.15 inches). These fish feed primarily on benthic algae, which they consume by scraping off rocky surfaces. Description Male Pacific leaping blennies have prominent head crests and orange-red dorsal fins. Distribution and habitat The Pacific leaping blenny is a tropical blenny found in reefs in Samoa and the Marianas, Society, and Cook Islands, in the western and southern Pacific Ocean.''Alticus arnoldorum''

Alticus Montanoi
''Alticus montanoi'', Montano's rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny (family Blenniidae). It is a tropical blenny, and is known from the western Pacific Ocean, from around the Philippines northwards to Japan. It lives in the intertidal zone of exposed rocky shores and is often out of the water. The blennies are oviparous, and form distinct pairs when mating. They feed primarily off of benthic algae. Etymology The specific name honors the collector of the type Type may refer to: Science and technology Computing * Typing, producing text via a keyboard, typewriter, etc. * Data type, collection of values used for computations. * File type * TYPE (DOS command), a command to display contents of a file. * ..., the French ethnologist Joseph Montaro.

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, many taxa showed intermediate characteristics and it has been suggested that the subfamily should not be divided into tribes. Subject to further study, the Parablenniini and Salarinae should be treated as synonyms. The following genera are classified as belonging to the Salarinae: * '' Aidablennius'' Whitley, 1947 * '' Alloblennius'' Smith-Vaniz & Springer, 1971 * '' Alticus'' Lacepède, 1800 * ''Andamia'' Blyth, 1858 * '' Antenna ...
