Kuiter's deepsea clingfish (Kopua kuiteri) is a clingfish of the family Gobiesocidae, found only off southern Australia, at depths of between 90 and 110 metres (300 and 360 ft).
Etymology
The clingfish is named in honor of Australian underwater photographer Rudolf “Rudie” Kuiter (b. 1943), who collected the type specimen and provided color transparencies showing the fish's life coloration.[1]
