tonywu 0 Posted May 2, 2011 This photo of dragonet is from a friend in Cairns. She took the photo a few years ago, in about 7 to 10 meters of water, among ruble and Acropora corals and came across another one last week. She's exhausted her supply of critter ID books, and I couldn't find this in any of mine. Anyone have an idea what species this might be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonywu 0 Posted May 8, 2011 Received a tentative ID of Synchiropus bartelsi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocha 0 Posted May 8, 2011 This looks very different from the S. bartelsi that I saw before. I am still trying, and e-mailing some specialists. Will let you know when I hear anything back from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
