Lepadogaster lepadogaster
Small fish, about 7 cm in length. In tidal pools, under stones or algae, which are grasped by means of the suction cup, up to 15 m. It remains hidden during the day, and comes out at night. It feeds on shrimp and small worms and crabs. You can go without water for a while, but there needs to be moisture. The female lays her eggs on a stone in spring and they are watched over by both her and the male.
Between coastal rocks of Cabo de Palos.
