Etymology: Dunckerocampus: From Duncker, an ichthyologist and taxonomist that recognized four Gobiidae families (1928) + Gr, kampe = bent.
Eponymy: Dr Paul Georg Egmont Duncker (1870–1953) was a German zoologist and ichthyologist. [...] Wayne J Baldwin is an American ichthyologist based at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology who has described several new fish. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Kurzbeschreibung
Bestimmungsschlüssel | Morphologie | Morphometrie
Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 21 - 23; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 4.
Body shape (shape guide): eel-like.
Adults usually occur in caves or among rocks at depths from 6.1 to 48.8 m (Ref. 205). Observed cleaning a cardinal fish (Apogon evermanni) and a moray eel (Gymnothorax sp.). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Solitary and secretive (Ref 90102).
