Edosian
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Edosians (or Edoans) are a tripodal species, having three arms, three legs and three fingers on each hand, hailing from the planet Edos. An Edosian named Arex was a member of the USS Enterprise's crew in 2269-70.
Edos is also home to the Edosian orchid and the Edosian suckerfish. (DS9: "Broken Link"; ENT: "These Are the Voyages...")
- Knowledge of the suckerfish among Humans may indicate a first contact date prior to 2161.

[edit] Background
The name of Arex's homeworld originated in a non-canon catalog published by Lincoln Enterprises in 1974, which included biographies of Arex and M'Ress. The Edosians were described as a peaceful, long-lived species worshipping many gods. Though the Animated Series may suggest that the Edosians are Federation members, the Lincoln biography claims they are merely in "loose alliance." Despite the information from the biography not being canon, the name of the planet seems to have been accepted in canon, and StarTrek.com uses information from it.
