The Fingered Dragonet is similar to the Scooter Blenny, but has a much larger, flamboyant dorsal fin and finger like pelvic fin. The body is a mosaic brown and white.
The Fingered Dragonet is an excellent candidate for a well-established reef tank with a thick sandy bottom. It needs a steady diet of live organisms such as copepods and amphipods and small worms to survive. A refugium is recommended to establish this natural food source. One male can be kept with several females if introduced simultaneously. Keep with docile tank mates.
Dragnets are difficult to feed in the home aquarium. They prey on small organisms such as copepods and amphipods that dwell in live rock and substrate. A well-established tank with a refugium is recommended to cultivate these organisms.
