Special thanks for the foto to Rudolf Svensen, Norway.
Distribution:
Circumglobal: Arctic to temperate waters; northern hemisphere.
Arctic Alaska to Sea of Okhotsk, northern Sea of Japan, Unalaska Island in the Aleutian chain and Puget Sound, Washington, USA. North Atlantic: Arctic to Labrador in Canada; along Scandinavia from Skagerrak to Finnmarken, common at Murmansk, White Sea, Iceland and Greenland.
The Pacific form is sometimes treated as a subspecies Leptoclinus maculatus diaphanocarus.
Biology:
Inhabits sandy bottoms; mud to pebble bottom, usually in less than 170 meters.
Benthic. Feeds on polychaetes and crustaceans.
Synonyms:
Clinus aculeatus Reinhardt, 1837
Clinus maculatus Fries, 1838
Ctenodon maculatus (Fries, 1838)
Leptoclinus maculatus diaphanocarus (Schmidt, 1904)
Leptoclinus maculatus maculatus (Fries, 1838)
Lumpenus aculeatus (Reinhardt, 1837)
Lumpenus maculatus (Fries, 1838)
Plectrobranchus diaphanocarus Schmidt, 1904
Stichaeus maculatus (Fries, 1838)
Jumping guard
A jumping guard prevents (nocturnal) fish from jumping out.
Wrasses, blennies, hawkfishs and gobies jump out of an unprotected tank in fright if their night rest is disturbed, unfortunately these jumpers are found dried up in the morning on carpets, glass edges or later behind the tank.

A small night light also helps, as it provides the fish with a means of orientation in the dark!
