GGP: the beach yesterday was full of these--iced-over sponges washed ashore (numerous) and clam shells encased in sheets of ice (not so numerous). none of the other flotsam and jetsam had this ice-glaze; I assume it had something to do with release of moisture and cold temps. A fascinating phenomenon to...

EvilGentleman: Um, Barry... I could not decipher what you meant to ask, sorry. Near as I understood your question, you want to know if they exist in NY state? Or are you telling me you caught some in NY? Either way, I doubt it is the same species. Arctic Sculpins are...
