Dunckerocampus multiannulatus (Regan, 1903)
This Pipefish is often sold as pessuliferus. This specias has WHITE stripes on red ground. In addition to that the tailfin is white bordered while the pessuliferus only has a white strip on the top of the tail fin. The pessuliferus has a yellow spot in the middle of the tail fin.
Curation in captivity is possible in older tanks. Only keep together with other quiet fishes. Difficult to get her to artificial or frozen food. The best possible way is to feed living brine-shrimps mixed with frozen ones and slowly raise the amount of frozen brine-shrimps.

Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.
