ID this Fish or Invert

I might have to start giving hints.

Juvenile Goliath grouper?

In the background is Corynactis Californica.

Rock Greenling (Hexagrammos lagocephalus)

I have a mated pair of Kelp Greenlings in my 200 gallon

That's Right.

Nice, Aquatic! We were completely off the mark.

I only knew it because I almost bought one from the local seafood market, and the kelp greenlings look very similar in body structure.
In my opinion this is a severely overlooked fish when it comes to home aquariums.

It would appear so, they look like a cool fish. I'll have to make a profile on it. Do you think you could take a couple of good pictures of one for me?

By the way, I think it's your turn now.

Indeed it is my turn.

I tried to get a good picture of something from my tank, but it wasn't cooperating. So I'll just host a couple photos I had already took earlier.

One fish , and one Invert for you all to ID

Hint on the fish, its a juvenile specimen, good luck

Are these coldwater species?

Presumably. Both images show corynactis in the background.

ah ha. I see. Would that fish be phycis phycis aka larger forkbeard fish?

Yup both species from my coldwater tanks, both collected from the Oregon coast by myself.

Nope

This is a free swimming, schooling fish, photo I took is of a juvenile. It took me weeks to figure out what they were

I'll try and snap a more current photo of them in my new tank.

I updated the pics of the fish in my tank, they all ended up being out of focus.

So here's a picture of a slightly older one, hopefully this pic helps in the ID

Sebastes melanops?

And the colonial tubeworm: Dodecaceria fewkesi.

Correct on both

Looks like you and I are going to have a battle of who can find the most obscure creatures from the Northeast Pacific

Sounds interesting.

Uh... brine shrimp? Mysis shrimp? some shrimp?

Side profile of Tigriopus Californicus?

Nope.

Is it found found worldwide or only in the PacNW?

Only in the Northeast Pacific.
