Short description
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Espinas dorsales (total) : 0; Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 7 - 9; Espinas anales: 0; Radios blandos anales: 5 - 7. Pink to red or green dorsally, possibly with longitudinal bands of brown, or spotted brown and yellow. Occasionally with patches of pink over the dorsal surface. Pale creamy white ventrally. Distinguished from other clingfishes by the broad, bluntly pointed head, a thick, fleshy upper lip and a longitudinal groove below the eye lined with fleshy lobes. The sucking disc lacks flattened papillae across the anterior margin.
Common in rock pools at mid to low tide and in subtidal areas. Usually found clinging under rocks of exposed areas. Feeds on small mollusks, polychaete worms, amphipods, and other crustaceans.
