Photographed this in Hood Canal about 10 foot level.

Would appreciate an ID.

Thanks,

Hi PapaZ!

What you've got here is a Scalyhead Sculpin, probably THE most common little sculpin around our waters. Now that you know, you'll probably start seeing them everywhere!

Thank You for the ID.

Very right about numerous ones in the shallows.
