The spotted leptoclinus, or daubed shanny, is a small marine fish with a long body and dark spots. It lives in cold northern seas and hides among rocks on the seabed.
The spotted leptoclinus differs from related species by its unique pattern of dark spots and adaptation to very cold water. It serves as food for larger fish and helps maintain balance in northern marine ecosystems.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
