Bulbonaricus brucei is a species of marine fish of the family Syngnathidae.[1] It is known only for individuals found in the western Indian Ocean, at Pangani, Maziwi Island, and Tanzania.[1] Although little is known of this species, the known specimens were collected near coral at depths of 1m, and were a maximum length of 4.5 cm.[2] It is ovoviviparous, with males carrying eggs in brood pouches until they hatch.[2] The specific name honours the United Kingdom carcinologist Dr. Alexander (Sandy) James Bruce (born 1929).[3]
