Triplefin
Threefin or triplefin blennies are blenniiforms, small percomorph marine fish of the family Tripterygiidae.

The family name derives from the Greek ''tripteros'' meaning "with three wings".

The pectoral fins are greatly enlarged, and the tail fin is rounded. The New Zealand topknot, ''Notoclinus fenestratus'', is the largest species at 20 cm in total length; most other species do not exceed 6 cm.
