Nematode: The nematodes, roundworms or eelworms constitute the phylum Nematoda. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad range of environments. Most species are free-living, feeding on microorganisms, but there are many that are parasitic. The parasitic worms (helminths) are the cause of soil-transmitted helminthiases.
Spiny lumpsucker: Pacific spiny lumpsuckers are a globular-shaped fish that typically measures 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.6 cm) in length, though the most common size is 1 inch (2.5 cm). It has a maximum known length of around 5 to 7 inches (13 to 18 cm).
They have a wide mouth with large lips, and protruding eyes. The fish also has a squared dorsal fin, rounded caudal fin, and thin, transparent pectoral fins.
The lumpsucker’s pelvic fins have evolved into a large, fringed suction cup, allowing it to attach to surfaces like rocks or kelp. This sucker also compensates the fish for its lack of gas bladder. Because of their large, rounded shape with small fins, Pacific spiny lumpsuckers are ineffective swimmers and are most commonly found attached to solid objects.
