Spotted Mandarinfish
Tan to light green body; large dark spots ringed with orange and blue/green; orange and blue/green markings on eye and face. Low numbers of captive bred available: the vast majority is wild- caught. Mandarinfishes are typically captured with small spears or cyanide, both of which are deadly practices.
