Enneapterygius etheostomus is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Enneapterygius.^[1] It is a temperate blenny known to inhabit rocky shores in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, and swims at a depth range of 0–21 metres (0-68 feet) It has been described from Japan, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Male E. etheostomus can reach a maximum length of 5.5 centimetres (2.1in) ^[1] Both juveniles and adults of the species are known to feed on benthic algae.^[1]

E. etheostomus was originally described as Tripterygium etheostoma by David Starr Jordan and J.O. Snyder in 1902,^[2] and was later renamed Rosenblatella etheostomus by H. Masuda et al., in 1984.^[3] It was reassigned to Enneapterygius by Ronald Fricke in 1997.^[4]
