Lepadogaster candollei is a subspecies within the lepadogaster genus. L. candoli, also known as the Connemarra clingfish, is found off the coast of Western Scotland and South-West England.[1] L. candollei can reach up to 7.5 cm in length and shares many similarities with L. lepadogaster. Like the other species of lepadogaster, L. candollei has a flattened body and bilateral symmetry. Unlike L. lepadogaster that has a triangular shaped head, L. candollei has a more rounded head and rounded fins.
