Dendrochirus
brachypterus ("Brack-hip-tur-us") (Cuvier
1829), The Shortfin Dwarf Lion is a rarer, more heavy bodied dwarf, often
showing up with a good deal of yellow, brown and green mixed with red
markings. Brach dwarfs are aptly named in reference to their very large
pectoral fins with almost no emerging ray tips. This is one of the most
personable marine species, quickly getting to recognize and respond to
it's owners presence. Indo-West Pacific; East Africa, Red Sea to
southern Japan, Australia, Micronesia. Here in N. Sulawesi, Lembeh St. |
