Common Sea Snail

Liparis liparis

Common Sea Snail

Adults live along northern coastal seabeds, especially among rocks, seaweed, and soft sediment. They feed on small crustaceans, worms, and molluscs found on or near the bottom. Despite its name, this animal is a scaleless fish rather than a true snail, and it uses a pelvic suction disc to cling to surfaces.
