Back in December, I was trying to photograph this fish in the low intertidal zone:
I turned my head for a second and when I looked back I couldn't find the fish again. I started scanning the pool, and then I noticed a silvery green-blue color out of the corner of my eye:
Whoops! The first fish had been caught by a second fish!
I could use some help with the identifications. Any ideas? I'm wondering if the first fish is a Topsmelt (Atherinops affinis). The second fish appears to be a sculpin, but I'm not sure which species. If you have any thoughts about either one, I'd be interested.
