The shore clingfish (*Lepadogaster lepadogaster*) is a small, bottom-dwelling fish found in the rocky coastal waters of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. Known for its suction disk, formed by modified pelvic fins, the clingfish can attach itself to rocks and other surfaces, even in strong tidal zones. Its skull structure is specialized for a diet that includes small crustaceans and invertebrates, with a flattened head and broad mouth adapted to grasp food in its shallow, rocky habitat.

This replica is created from a detailed 3D scan of a shore clingfish skull, cast in durable resin, and carefully hand-painted to capture each subtle anatomical detail, from the wide jaw to the fine bone structure.

Perfect for marine biology educators, ichthyologists, and collectors, this shore clingfish skull replica offers a close look at the adaptations that make this species a master of coastal survival.
