Liparis callyodon
Liparis callyodon, or the spotted snailfish and by one source the beautiful tooth seasnail,[2] is a fish from the genus Liparis.[1] It lives in marine and demersal environments at a depth range from zero to twenty meters.[1] It can be found at temperate climate zones, such as the eastern Pacific Ocean from Alaska, USA to Oregon, USA, in intertidal zones (tide pools).[1] The name callyodon comes from the Greek word meaning "beautiful tooth".[2] Pallas chose this name after the species' tricuspid teeth.[2]
