Sunrise Sandperch

Parapercis soliorta

Sunrise Sandperch

A sandperch so little recorded that nothing is published about its habitat or the depth where it was caught. Its relatives prop themselves on the bottom on stout pelvic fins to watch for prey, and this one is thought to be rare and to favour deeper ground.
