They stick themselves to a smallish rock one bottom and guard there eggs you can pick them up and the rock with them.In order to become "old & wise", you must first be young & stupid.

the fish in question is a relative of the lump sucker is correct name is a BATWANGS BATWANGA FISH , it is the rarest fish in the sea , and the only fish that constantly swims backwards in the ocean apparently it swims backwards to keep the salty water out of it eyesComment

As said a lumpsucker, dont often see them apart from this time of year when they come in close to lay the eges on the flowing kelp and get a battering from the sea. Caught 2 of them in my life both foul hooked, 1 from Shields pier and 1 from Seahouses pier.
The males are bright red with hints of blue.................__................................ .............................
