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]
