Dragonet - Psychedelic Mandarin (Synchiropus splendidus)

The mandarin fish is a saltwater fish that belongs to the Callionymidae family of dragonets. The fish is also known as the mandarin goby, green mandarin, and mandarin dragonet. The mandarin fish’s colorful, vibrant body makes the species popular among aquarists. Mandarin fish have broad heads and scaleless bodies and grow up to 3 inches long.
