Fu Manchu lionfish

Dendrochirus biocellatus
Ci turam: 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

It shelters in caves and under ledges during the day, and lives on coral reefs with clear water at depths of 1 to 40 m. It is found in Australian waters at Scott Reef, Ashmore and Hibernia reefs, and Christmas Island.1

It eats small fish and small crustaceans, such as shrimp. It hunts by stalking prey along the bottom or around reef structures, then makes a rapid lunge and swallows the prey whole.1

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

Xibaar

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

Tasukatu léeb

Xalaat bu juum: It belongs to the genus Dendrochirus.

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