Enneanectes carminalis, known commonly as the Carmine triplefin or the Delicate triplefin in Mexico and the United Kingdom,[2] is a species of triplefin blenny.[3] It is a tropical blenny known from reefs from Mexico to Panama, in the eastern central Pacific Ocean.[3] It was originally described by D.S.
