I love these guys, they look like little horseheads with fins!
Hahaha, Argybee...
Yes it is a shame. That's hilarious! What a strange fish haha.
Hmmm.... " During reproduction, the female chases a male into a rock crevice and keeps him there until she lays her eggs."... (Humans build timber, brick and plaster caves for the same purpose .)
At first I thought you were joking about the name like something from Tolkien or Oliver Twist or Harry Potter. Oh no! It's a real name. Pity his nose and tail got chopped off.
Thanks Argybee !
Grunt sculpin ! - perfect name - looks just like him. :) What an interesting fish.
