In a rock pool what adaptations does a small fish have?

I know this isn't much, but the fish is so small it can fit through the teeth of other fish that are bigger than it in the rock pool. Also the fish has gills which allows it to swim far down in the water and stay in the water because one of its predators (the seagull) can't go in the water. Lastly, the fishes scales tend to be dark green so they can camouflage. But say the fish is a florescent color then because its small it can squeeze into small rock gaps.

Never ever try and eat a pufferfish if you cleaned it yourself unless you are specially trained.

How can you tell between a girl and a boy clownfish?

Some fish can be viewed to be determined, as in color variations and/or body differences. In most viewable differences with color, the males are more often than not the more colorful of the two sexes. Males also tend to be bigger in most fish (one exception comes to mind are guppies). In some fish the tail fins are different between the sexes such as with guppies and betta fish where the males have long tails while the females have short tails. And then anal fins are key factors with sexing some fish. They are the rear most fins of a fish located near the base of the tail. With one sex being more pointed than the other. Yet another way is to Vent a fish. this is done by physically removing a fish and holding it in your hands and turning it upside down to view the vents. In some fish the females have bigger vents than males, and in some fish they can have a different color or even a different shape. It all comes down to what particular fish it is that needs to be sexed.

How does a angler fish catch its food?

The pectoral and pelvic fins are so articulated as to perform the functions of feet, so that the fish is able to walk along the bottom of the sea, where it generally hides itself in the sand or amongst seaweed. All round its head and also along the body the skin bears fringed appendages resembling short fronds of seaweed, a structure which, combined with the extraordinary faculty of assimilating the colour of the body to its surroundings, assists this fish greatly in camouflaging itself in the places which it selects on account of the abundance of prey.

The angler is believed to attract other fishes by means of its lure, and then to seize them with its enormous jaws. It is probable enough that smaller fish are attracted in this way, but experiments have shown that the action of the jaws is automatic and depends on contact of the prey with the tentacle. Its stomach is distensible to an extraordinary degree, and it is not unusual for the fish to swallow a prey nearly as large as itself.
