Four-fingered lipsucker

  • Rareness:★★★★

Distributed from the Ryukyu Islands southwards including Taiwan and Indonesia. Reaches around 10 cm in length. They don't often go into the water, but use a sucker-like structure located below the lower lip to stick on rocks and harbor walls along the surf line. They move from one place to another by hopping on rocky areas above water.

Scientific name Andamia tetradactylus
English name Four-fingered lipsucker
