Victoria is a little grey and rainy outside today so I figured it was a good time to add a little colour to everyones day.
This little fish is a Longfin Sculpin.
This sculpin is named for its long fin running down its back. This elongated yellow or orange fin contrast brightly against an olive green body marked by dark red wavy bands across the back. Three pale bands below each eye create a striped effect on the head. This sculpin has a slender body and reaches 15 cm in length.
The Longfin Sculpin inhabits rocky reefs, in caves and crevices, and among kelp from the intertidal to 60 m depth. It is frequently spotted lying along vertical rock faces and cavern walls. Its range extends from central Alaska to central California.
Photographing this fish can be quite challenging, they are shy and will quickly dart away if they feel threatened. Patients is the key and a good macro lens. Let them come to you.
Thanks for reading.
