Gibbonsia elegans, the Spotted kelpfish, is a species of clinid native to subtropical waters of the Pacific Ocean from central California, U.S. to southern Baja California, Mexico. It prefers subtidal rocky habitats with seaweed down to a depth of about 56 metres (184 ft). This species can reach a maximum length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) TL.[1] This species feeds on benthic crustaceans (amphipods, isopods, crabs), gastropods, and polychaete worms.[2]
