LOL What On Earth Is This?

Your pic sucks WK!!! 

But I think it is a rocksucker (Chorisochismus dentex). Family Gobiessocidae - Clingfishes. An endemic species. Feeds on limpets and sea urchins.

It is a Rocksucker family Clingfish   Gobiesocidae.Quite a large one , there are different species worldwide ( 150) only 9 in our area .

 This is a big one as their size is 3 to 30 cm. they sometimes act as cleaner fish on bigger species. They eat surprisingly large  limpets ,shell and all  that they lever off rocks using their upper teeth and then pivoting the body 180 degrees. Rarely found deeper than 10m . Colour mimics surroundings. Can live for hours out of water if kept moist .


No I'm not a fundi but extracted from Coastal fishes of  SA  by Phil and Elaine Heemstra .

It is a Rocksucker.  Interestingly on an episode of Bizarre Foods America, there was a chap that was catching them, size about 30cm and they are edible. Then again there is not much that Andrew Zimmern, doesn't eat.
