Ruby Red Dragonet (Synchiropus sycorax) is a true showstopper, prized for its deep crimson coloration and peaceful reef-safe nature. This rare and highly sought-after dragonet is a perfect choice for aquarists looking to add vibrant color and constant motion to an established marine aquarium.

Native to deeper reef environments, the Ruby Red Dragonet spends its day gracefully gliding across rockwork and sandbeds in search of copepods and other microfauna. Its calm temperament makes it an excellent addition to community reef tanks, especially alongside other peaceful fish.

Key Features:
