This guy was maybe an inch long. We found several today during our research dive at Point Lobos, and this was the only picture we could get because they didn't want to hold still. We found all of them living in creases of the sea palm Esenia arborea, and they were all just as tiny as this one. We were thinking some sort of clingfish, but can't nail it down and may be way off base with that guess. Anybody have a clue?

looks like a kelp clingfish. (Rimicola muscarum)
