style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -web All: Chris Mjaka certainly (as usual) has it right, the fish is clearly a Wrymouth, _Cryptacanthodes maculatus_. A few days ago I was sent a photo of a similar fish in the beak of a distant cormorant, and I suggested it might be a pink phase of a Snake Blenny, but it seems much more likely to have been a Wrymouth. I wonder, though, if the individual photo'd in hand was really an "albino" - to me it has dark eyes, and may be lacking melanin only in its scales - like white birds. Web photos seem to suggest that pink individuals are quite regular - maybe a "morph" rather than a "variant" or "sport." Cheers, KIan Ian McLaren
