Dendrochirus barberi, the Hawaiian lionfish, is a dwarf lionfish from the Eastern Central Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 16.5 cm in length.
The species name barberi honors Captain Barber, who commanded the ship in which Franz Steindachner rode as a passenger when collecting the holotype of the Hawaiian lionfish, not the Captain Barber who scuttled his trading brig at Pearl Harbor in the early 1800s.[2]
