Animalia›Chordata›Actinopterygii›Perciformes›Callionymidae
📍 Western Pacific, Philippines to Indonesia
Psychedelically patterned relative of the Mandarin Dragonet with blue, orange, and green circular spots. Equally challenging to keep — requires a mature reef with abundant live copepods. Often confused with the Mandarin but has smaller eyes.
