  by Lana The tidepool sculpin is about 8 cm long. It is greenish to red above, the stomach is usually blue or green tinted with a white line. There are five irregular dark circles on its back. They eat crabs, shrimp, fish eggs, and small shrimp. The animal was in the high tide zone and was swimming very fast! Some tidepool sculpins are camouflaged. The one in the picture is the same color as the bottom of the tide pool. They hide under rocks and coralline algae.
