The Green Mandarin (Synchiropus splendidus) is also known as the Mandarin Goby, Striped Mandarinfish, and Mandarin Dragonet. The Green Mandarin looks somewhat like a goby or blenny, yet is not a goby at all, but is from the dragonet family (Callionymidae).
A dragonet is a small fish that has two separate dorsal fins. The mandarinfish is best described as a maze of blue and orange over a green backdrop. There are vivid yellow spots near the head. I have also seen a very rare variation with red as the main coloration.
Males can be distinguished by their elongated dorsal spine. The Green Mandarin of the Perciforme (=perch-like) Order, uses his fan-like pelvic fins for walking or hopping on the sandy bottom.
