It took me a while to figure it out. The beards are just small stalks in the mouth area. Someone will give a much better description than that I'm sure. I have to say that all rockling look the same to me anyway. The mice of the sea.
List 2010. fish

List 2011: less fish

2012: less fish again,

2013: even less fish.
