Fu Man Chu lionfish

The Fu Manchu lionfish (Dendrochirus biocellatus) is a distinctive species known for its striking appearance. This fish is primarily brown or reddish with vertical white stripes, and it features two large, fan-like pectoral fins and long, feathery dorsal fins. Native to the Indo-Pacific region, the Fu Manchu lionfish has eyespots on the rear of its dorsal fin, which resemble false eyes. This species grows to around 6 inches in length. It is known in the aquarium hobby, particularly among enthusiasts of marine and reef tanks, but its care complexity and venomous spines make it more suitable for experienced keepers.
