Ruby Red Dragonet (synchiropus sycorax)

The Ruby Red Dragonet is a striking mandarin-family fish prized for its vibrant crimson coloration and intricate patterning. This small, bottom-dwelling species thrives in established reef aquariums with plenty of live rock and substrate for foraging. Synchiropus sycorax feeds primarily on copepods and small crustaceans, making a mature refugium or copepod culture essential for long-term success. Best kept singly or in bonded pairs, they require stable water parameters and low-flow zones within the tank. An excellent choice for experienced aquarists seeking a unique, ornamental addition to their marine setup.
