It grows to up to 24 in (60 cm) long.[2] Most adult have blue mouths,[4] while the young have bright red eyes.[3] BehaviorThe species is usually solitary, but not aggressive, which has led to easy husbandry in public aquaria. It is sometimes cryptic, however, and often elusive to divers and spear fishermen, as they prefer living among the rock in the heavy surge.[3] DietH. lagocephalus is a generalized feeder, eating everything from invertebrates such as crabs and isopods to fish eggs and algae. When young, the fish eat zooplankton. RangeThe rock greenling's natural distribution is along the Pacific Coast from Alaska's Bering Sea to the coast of southern California. Its habitat of choice is rocky shoreline.[2] Sometimes,though, they can be found in tidepools and sandy areas.[3] Economic valueThough not commonly commercially fished like the related lingcod, they are a popular gamefish. Most live among areas impossible to fish by commercial boats.[3] They are commonly caught by sport fishers off exposed rocky shores.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite book |title=The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Fishes, Whales & Dolphins |publisher=Chanticleer Press |year=1983 |page=725}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book |title=Pacific Coast Inshore Fishes |publisher=Sea Challengers |year=1981 |page=50}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book |title=Coastal Fishes of the Pacific Northwest |publisher=Harbour Publishing CO.
