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. Bali
