Butterfish

Butterfish

The butterfish, a type of blenny, has received its name for its extremely slimy skin. Reaching lengths of 15 cm the butterfish can be found in tidal areas of the North Atlantic. At low tide the butterfish hides in damp crevices, at higher tides the butterfish swims through the shallow waters. Butterfish have elongated, eel-like bodies, decorated with dark spots. MORE!
