That's make-up! Meet the maculatus, a stunning species of fish known for its vibrant and eye-catching appearance. With its intricate patterns and bold colors, this fish could easily be mistaken for a work of art rather than a natural wonder. Resembling an underwater fashion show, the maculatus stands out among other marine creatures with its unique features. Just like how we use cosmetics to enhance our beauty, this fish flaunts its own version of makeup through mesmerizing spots and stripes that adorn its body. But there's more to the maculatus than just looks. It belongs to the family Syngnathidae, which includes fascinating species such as pipefish and trumpetfish. These relatives share similar elongated bodies and snouts that help them blend seamlessly into their surroundings. Found in tropical waters around the world, from coral reefs to seagrass beds, the often spotted swimming alongside other colorful inhabitants of these ecosystems. From blowfish with their puffed-up appearances to exotic tropical fish displaying an array of hues – it's like watching a living rainbow unfold before your eyes. Interestingly enough, scientists have assigned several DDE numbers (DDE-90027070, DDE-90027053. . ) to different variations or subspecies within the maculatus family. This classification system helps researchers study their distinct characteristics and understand their ecological roles better. In some regions where they reside, you might also find them sharing habitats with other remarkable marine creatures like greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili), red mullet, spotted goatfish, gurnards - creating a diverse ecosystem beneath the waves. On land too can we find another creature bearing resemblance in terms of aesthetics – meet Chital or cheetal (Axis axis). These elegant deer species are known for their striking white spots on reddish-brown fur coats. Nature truly has an artistic touch.
