These little guys are padded sculpins, Artedius fenestralis. You can tell by the cone-like spines near their nostrils, lack of cirri around their eyes, and the scales between their lateral line and dorsal fin (I pet them, I felt the scales.) They are very cute and pretty easy to handle. Like most other sculpins, when you pick them up out of water, they go :o
