Fu Manchu lionfish

Dendrochirus biocellatus

Davart il num: The scientific name biocellatus means 'two spots', after the two eye-like spots on its dorsal fin. The common name 'Fu Manchu' comes from the long tentacles on its upper jaw, which look like the moustache of the fictional character.1

The Fu Manchu lionfish is a small, reddish-brown reef fish with two large dark spots on its back fin that look like eyes. It lives in warm, clear tropical seas across the Indo-West Pacific, mostly among coral. Its spines carry venom, so it is one to admire from a distance.1

The fin spines are venomous, so a puncture from one injects venom.1

bun da savair

Fatgs

Before feeding, it snaps its back fin spines and shakes its head from side to side as it approaches prey. This may distract the prey or possibly attract it.1

It may also use the fleshy tentacles on its upper jaw to lure prey within striking distance.1

It moves towards prey by 'hopping' on its pelvic fins or by waving its tail fin, until it is about half its body length away.1

It appears occasionally in the aquarium trade, where it is moderately difficult to keep and not suited to beginners.1

Destructur da mits

Mit: It belongs to the genus Dendrochirus.

Vardad: Before 2023 it was classed in Dendrochirus, but it is now understood not to be particularly closely related to that genus.1
