The crested triplefin or crested threefin (Trinorfolkia cristata)[2] is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Trinorfolkia.[3] It was described by Rudie Kuiter in 1986.[4] This species is endemic to the coasts of South Australia from Sceale Bay to Victor Harbor, including Kangaroo Island. It is found in rocky reefs from the intertidal zone to a depth of 15 metres (49 ft), among boulders, on vertical rock walls and on man-made structures such as piers and jetties.[2]
