What’s a spiny lumpsucker? No, it’s not a nickname for your ex: The spiny lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus orbis) is a fish that inhabits parts of the Pacific from the Washington State coast to Japan and up into the Bering Sea. Typically growing only 3 in (7.6 cm) long, it can often be spotted camouflaged in grass beds and rocky areas, avoiding predators such as cod and lancetfish. Its body shape and small fins mean that it isn’t the best swimmer, but a powerful pelvic fin helps this fish stick to solid surfaces, acting like a suction cup to hold it in place.
