Triacanthodes anomalus, also called the red spikefish,[2][3] is a species of the family Triacanthodidae (spikefish) of the order Tetraodontiformes.

Taxonomy[edit]

Triacanthodes anomalus was first described in 1850 by the naturalists Coenraad Jacob Temminck and Hermann Schlegel, who had proposed the creation of both a new species and genus to organize specimens collected from Japan that were distinct from other known triacanthids.[4]

Description[edit]

Triacanthodes anomalus can reach a maximum length of 10 cm standard length.[5][6]

Distribution and habitat[edit]

Triacanthodes anomalus are demersal fish (ground fish) that inhabit the tropical marine waters of the South and East China Seas around Taiwan, the Japanese archipelago, and South Korea.[6][7] The species is found on the continental shelf and edge of the shelf in areas with sandy or sandy mud substrates.[8][6]
