The Copper shark gets its name from its grey to bronze colouration. It has a white underbelly and has a bluntly pointed, broad snout. The Copper Shark is migratory in the northern part of its range, moving northward in spring and summer and southward in autumn and winter. Commonly found near the seabed, the Copper Shark feeds on open sea bony fish, octopus, small sharks and rays

correct, neoclinus is the genus it belongs in, the species name for this is Neoclinus blanchardi

The sarcastic fringehead is a small but very hardy saltwater fish that has a large mouth and aggressive territorial behavior, for which it has been given its common name. When two fringeheads have a territorial battle, they wrestle by pressing their distended mouths against each other, as if they were kissing
