Liparis beautiful is a small marine fish with a soft jelly-like body without scales. It lives on the bottom of cold seas and uses a sucker on its belly to hold onto rocks.
Beautiful Liparis differs from most other fish with its soft body and sucker on the belly. It serves as food for larger marine animals and helps maintain balance in the bottom communities of cold seas.
Sucking in and grabbing with the mouth.
