Sicyases sanguineus is a marine fish from the clingfish family. It clings tightly to rocks in the intertidal zone off the coasts of South America and can remain out of water for a long time.
Sicyases sanguineus is distinguished by a powerful sucker and the ability to breathe air outside of water. This fish helps maintain the balance of algae on rocks and serves as food for birds and larger fish.
Legendary longevity: over 100 years. Galapagos tortoises, Greenland sharks, ocean quahogs celebrate with family once every 4 years
