A pair of mandarin fish – colorful reef fish known among scuba divers for their exotic mating dances in the moonlight – has been spotted for the first time in Singapore.

The fish species is not known to be found naturally in Singapore, although it does occur in nearby waters, such as in the Philippines, as well as in Borneo and Java in Indonesia.
 

Fish scientists The Straits Times spoke to on Tuesday (June 21) think it is likely that the pair was released from the aquarium trade.

Hospital care coordinator Venus Tan, 49, spotted the two mandarin dragonets (Synchiropus splendidus) at One°15 Marina on Sentosa while on a leisure dive there at about 5.30pm on April 22.
