Red black-faced Triplefins (Tripterygion tripteronotum) are very common in the Gulf of Castellammare but I only saw one male in full breeding regalia.

Caneva's Blennies (Microlipophrys canevae) are also common in the Gulf of Castellammare but I saw no males in breeding condition (unlike in May on the Lazio coast) x.com/numenini/status/11247047... #blenny #blennies #mediterraneanfish...

As well as v tame Thicklip & Thinlip Grey Mullets, & Mediterranean Sand Smelt, plying the waters of Plage de La Palud, Port-cros, this pinkish fish - could it be a Bogue (Boops boops - great latin name!)? @inaturalist

Can anyone tell me what this inquisitive little fish is at #Alghero #Sardinia. Could it be Pteragogus trispilus? #fishID #mediterraneanfish @FishBaseProject #identification #wrasse #FishOfTheWeek #ichthyology #WrasseWednesday
