Bellapiscis medius, the twister, is a triplefin fish of the family Tripterygiidae, commonly found around the coast of New Zealand.[1] Its length is between 5 and 10 cm.[2]

Habitat

This species is the only triplefin that as an adult lives in intertidal zone habitat.[3] It can be observed in tidal pools and has adapted to survive the changes in temperature, oxygen saturation and levels of water acidity that accompany living in that habitat.[3] The abundance of this fish in tidal pools decreases during the winter months.[4]

Prey

B. medius feeds on small crustaceans including barnacles, molluscs including snails, and amphipods.[3]
