The species is named after the red-robed and caped Sycorax warriors from the BBC sci-fi series Dr. Who!

Males have a taller more elaborate first Dorsal Fin which erects intermittently when moving around and for mating.
Every evening at sunset these beautiful fish rise up from the bottom to perform their dancing ritual before mating. Ref: https://www.fishbase.se/summary/Synchiropus-sycorax
