Description
The Coral Dragonet is a small, bottom-dwelling marine fish known for its excellent camouflage, blending seamlessly with coral rubble and sand. It possesses an elongated snout and mottled coloration, allowing it to ambush small invertebrates. This species requires a mature aquarium with a thriving copepod population to sustain its specialized carnivorous diet.
