Genus
Common name: Dragon Sea Moth
Scientific name: Eurypegasus
Eurypegasus is a genus of small, peculiar fish known for their unique, dragon-like appearance and benthic lifestyle. They are members of the family Pegasidae, closely related to the larger sea moths. These fish are characterized by a flattened body, wing-like pectoral fins, and a long, snout-like mouth. They are well-camouflaged and often found in sandy or rubble substrates in tropical and subtropical oceans. In the aquarium, they require specialized care, including a well-established tank with plenty of hiding places and a diet of small live foods.
