small elongate bottom dwellers

121 Mariana Islands species out of 164 reported | 188 Indo-Pacific species | 5 Western Atlantic species

The small elongate bottom dwellers group includes the families Blenniidae (blennies), Gobiesocidae (clingfishes), Gobiidae (gobies), Kraemeriidae (sand-darts), and Tripterygiidae (triplefins). Also included here are Western Atlantic members of the families Chaenopsidae (chaenopsid blennies) and Labrisomidae (labrisomid blennies). Species in this group are generally smaller than those in the elongate sand dwellers group, and many (but certainly not all) are associated with hardbottom habitats.
