Comments : One of my favorite sculpins. An indiscriminating feeder, we used to catch these little scuplins all the time when we were kids (we called them "bullheads"), providing us with endless hours of fun. Now, if I am lucky, I get to watch them bury themselves in the sand and ambush unsuspecting prey. This species is easily distinguished by it's coloration, striped pectoral fins, and horns which it can extend on the sides of it's head when threatened (not extended in this picture).
