Speckled Sandperch

Parapercis hexophtalma

Classification

Parapercis hexophtalma, the speckled sandperch, is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the family Pinguipedidae, found in the western Indo-Pacific Ocean. It was first described by the French naturalist Georges Cuvier in 1829. There are several synonyms, some of which represent misspellings of the original name, and others which were given to female fish, at the time thought to be a separate species.
