Liopropoma aragai

Liopropoma aragai

A deepwater Liopropoma 

One of the only recorder discovered 

This fish is associated with mesophotic to upper deep reef zones (~80–120m), where it inhabits complex reef structures and rocky crevices. Due to its depth and cryptic lifestyle, it is infrequently encountered and rarely observed in situ, even during targeted deep reef 

Like other Liopropoma species, it is a cave-dwelling, reclusive fish, spending most of its time within rockwork and shaded areas.

In aquariums, it thrives in mature systems with abundant live rock, overhangs, and low-disturbance environments.
