Allocareproctus jordani
Allocareproctus jordani, the cherry snailfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fish are found in the Northwest Pacific: off of Honshu, Japan at Sagami Bay, the Kuril Islands, and the eastern Okhotsk Sea.

In human culture
The fish is named in honor of ichthyologist David Starr Jordan, who co-described this species as Careproctus gilberti in 1914 but used a preoccupied name and so it was redescribed.
