Enneapterygius mirabilis

Enneapterygius mirabilis, the miracle triplefin, is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Enneapterygius.[2] It was described by Ronald Fricke in 1994[3] who gave it the specific name mirabilis, meaning "admirable", because its notable large pectoral fins and first dorsal fin were pretty.[4]
