| This display in Tokyo's Epson Aqua Stadium is of Pacific lumpfish, or lumpsuckers, The Ping Pong ball sized fish, or Eumicrotremus pacificus, uses a sucker disc on its belly to stick-like a suction cup to the rocks on the ocean floor where it lives off the island of Hokkaido. Perhaps one of them spiny lumpsuckers or nudibranchs might hit the spot. As well as tiny fish, crabs and delicate, coral-like seaweeds, you might find lumpsuckers - also known as lumpfish - which are grey-blue, scaleless, flabby fish, about 30cm (1ft) long, with a large sucker on their undersides, which they use to attach themselves to rocks. |
