About this item

Green Mandarin Goby (Dragonet)

Green Mandarin Goby (Synchiropus splendidus) is one of the most visually striking marine fish, known for its vivid green, blue, and orange psychedelic patterning. Its intricate coloration and smooth, gliding movement make it a true centerpiece in established reef aquariums.

This species is prized for its constant hunting behavior, slowly moving across rockwork while searching for live prey. Peaceful and reef-safe, the Green Mandarin Goby adds both beauty and natural activity to the aquarium when kept in a properly matured system.
