Shorthorn Sculpin (Myoxocephalus scorpius) discovered by Elijah (#9750)

Sighting Info

Comments:

A juvenile sculpin found in a tidepool. On different substrate, its colouration appeared different. I searched it up, but only found out that buffalo sculpin can change colours to match its surroundings. I don't know what other species of sculpin can do this.
