Which Sculipn is this guy?

Post by bnboly »

Looking through Marine Life of the Pacific Northwest and Whelks to Whales I'm fairly certain the this guy is a Buffalo Sculpin 'Enophrys bison' but he really looks more like a Leister Sculpin 'Enophrys lucasi' or possibly a Roughback Sculpin 'Chitonotus pugetensis'
