The dusky crawler (Sticharium clarkae) is a species of clinid native to the coast of southern Australia , where it lives around coastal outcrops in which it can find partially sheltered, sandy bays. It can be found at depths from 5 to 10 m (16 to 33 ft). It can reach a maximum total length of 8 cm (3.1 in).[2] The specific name of this clinid honours ichthyologist Eugenie Clark (1922-2015) of the University of Maryland.[3]
