Fu Manchu lionfish

Dendrochirus biocellatus

名字的由來： 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

只是會痛不要碰會痛，但不會對你造成嚴重傷害。

有毒液的棘刺吃：肉

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛，但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

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

牠吃什麼？

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

毒液力量

有毒液的棘刺

尖銳的棘刺帶著毒液。踩到或抓到牠都會很痛。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

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

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 疼痛可能會非常痛，但幾乎從來不會很嚴重。

如果牠的棘刺刺到你

把傷口泡在熱水裡，水溫要在傷者能忍受、又不會燙傷的範圍內（先用你自己的手試水溫），泡 30 到 90 分鐘。要就醫，特別是被石頭魚和魟魚刺傷時。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。急救基本知識

注意安全

絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
如果被牠的棘刺刺到：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。更多安全知識

值得知道

小知識

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
