  • Pictured here are four newly hatched lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus awae) juveniles, around 2mm to 3mm in size, about the size of a sesame seed. These baby fish stayed together for a brief time, hidden among intricate folds of red algae (Pugetia japonica), before dispersing around the reef. Known as dango-uo in Japanese, these fish are found along the Pacific coast of the main island of Honshu.

  • This is a Eumicrotremus awae lumpsucker, known as dango-uo in Japanese. About 1cm in size, this fish uses modified pectoral fins to adhere to surfaces. Here, the fish is leaning to its right because it is being pushed by ocean swell, with the suction-cup function of its modified pectoral fins clearly visible. Photographed in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.

  • This is a newly hatched lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus awae), 2mm to 3mm in size, about the size of a sesame seed. The fish is perched on a species of red algae, possibly Polypes sp. Known as dango-uo in Japanese, these fish are found along the Pacific coast of the main island of Honshu.

  • This is a newly hatched juvenile Eumicrotremus awae lumpsucker, a species found along the Pacific coast of Japan's main island of Honshu. The fish is 2mm to 3mm in size, perched on brown algae (Lessoniaceae). The white ring pattern is characteristic of juveniles, disappearing as the juvenile takes on permanent coloration. This one has already begun to adopt a greenish hue.

  • This is a top-down view of a juvenile Eumicrotremus uenoi lumpsucker, estimated length three to four millimeters from head to tip of caudal fin. As these tiny fish mature, they lose the white rings that characterize the juveniles. This fish is sitting on Colpomenia sinuosa algae. The white crystals are grains of sand, which provide a sense of scale. This species is found in the North Pacific, on the western coast of Japan and southern coast of the Korean peninsula. Photographed at magnification of four times life-size.

  • This is a newly hatched juvenile Eumicrotremus awae lumpsucker, a species found along the Pacific coast of Japan's main island of Honshu. The fish is 2mm to 3mm in size, perched on brown algae (Lessoniaceae). The juveniles retain this distinct pattern with white rings for a brief time, eventually taking on solid coloration that varies from brown and red to green, pink and other hues.
