  Ah, it is not, not sure why the Family name Tripterygiidae shows up separately.
  
  This are other Triplefins/Tripterygiidae :

    OK, I understand what happened, this one I created the species under Order Blenniiformes.
    
    The others in the link I shared above were placed under Order Perciformes.
    Can you update the others to Order Blenniiformes?
