O wolfi is a true pygmy that is found in the central and western Pacific. We collect them in French Polynesia. They have short arms, are typically a mottled red or brown, but do a great unilateral display. The species is sexually dimorphic with males having unusual fringed suckers near the tips of its arms (no idea how they use them). Mating occurs by the male mounting the female just as in blue-rings.
