Fun fact: Mandarinfish, renowned for their vibrant colours and intricate patterns, possess a fascinating secret: they lack scales! Instead, their skin is coated in a layer of mucus, which gives them their glossy appearance.

More fun facts: In the evenings during sunset, the male perform elaborate displays, fluttering their fins and chasing females to attract a mate. Once a female chooses a male, they press their bellies closely together and rise to the top of the reef,  sinking down and start to rise again multiple times before releasing eggs and sperm simultaneously in a cloud, ensuring external fertilization.

The eggs hatch in about 24 hours. The freshly born larvae then drift in the open ocean for about 2 weeks, before settling on a reef to start their life as beautiful Mandarinfish.
