miketron75 Posted February 12, 2011 Yup Dizzle, its baby sculpins lol! You must hit the beach down in SD and see these huh?! These were in Malibu Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted February 12, 2011 DHaut, those are definitly blenny's, not sculpin. Baby sculpin look completely different, I have been in these waters off SoCal for decades and have seen both. Below is a baby sculpin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sculpin_in_hand.JPG Quote Link to comment
miketron75 Posted February 13, 2011 These sculpin were in a tidepool @ point dume, look at the aggregating anemone(native coldwater species) they are next to. They are about one inch long young. Quote Link to comment

reef-luva Posted February 13, 2011 ...ok Dizzle, I won't argue...hahaha What I should have said was, "ya DHaut, those look like blenny's to me also. I have spent a LOT of time in the water here off SoCal, from the U.S. border up to Santa Barbara and I have never seen a sculpin that looks like that. Which I guess doesn't really mean much. I love to free dive in shallow reefs and look through tide pools, that is where you can see some of the coolest stuff under the ocean. Quote Link to comment
reef-luva Posted February 14, 2011 Mike, that tide pool tank you are hookin' up, is that going to be tropical or temperate?...either one would be sweet! I had a small one about 14 years ago and with the help of a chiller, I was able to gathering some animals off the coast here and it was righteous! Quote Link to comment
miketron75 Posted February 15, 2011 I'm doing tropical, Ive done the temperate thing, and it is rad for sure, but these days its like a super turbo felony if you get caught taking intertidal animals, not worth it to me, nor is the 430 dollar permit or the sweating tank! Quote Link to comment
