$Helmut Gurnard or Oriental Flying Gurnard Dactyloptena orientalis occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Hawaiian, Marquesan and Tuamoto Islands, north to southern Japan and the Ogasawara Islands, south to Australia and northern New Zealand in a depth range from 1 to 100m, max. length 40cm, common length 20cm. \n\nThe Flying Gurnard uses its pelvic fins to walk along the bottom of the ocean. \nThe solitary, well-camouflaged and slow-moving species inhabits coastal waters with sandy substrates and feeds on crustaceans, clams and small fish. \n\nThe pectoral fins are normally held against the body, but when threatened the fins are expanded to startle potential predators which may include sea breams and mackerel. A diver with huge camera system looks like a potential predator, reason enough to go on defense. \n\nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'8.9165 N 125°14'39.1048 E at 20m depth$

The mitogenome sequence from this species has been completely decoded. \nThis could contribute to a better understanding of the systematic evolution of Soleidae and Pleuronectiformes. \n\nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°29'32.881 N 125°14'12.8996 E at 15m depth by night$

A considerable section of its habitat is protected in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.\nThis specimen lies in a little cave in an outer reef at 14m depth. This shark species is primarily nocturnal. Its morning, time to have a rest. \nA lot of Orangelined Cardinalfishes Taeniamia fucata are there.
