Description
Shortfin turkeyfish (Dendrochirus brachypterus), also known as the Dwarf Lionfish, has a deceptive beauty that belies the highly potent venom in its spines. It is a nocturnal species that feeds largely upon crustaceans, either alone or in small schools of its own kind. Native to the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific, it occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade.
