WOW! This alga does a great impression of a seahorse, it even has eyes and fins and… oh whoa. If you ever thought the seaweed was talking back, perhaps a ribboned pipehorse was to blame.
unquestionably sea horses are one of the most bizarre looking sea creatures. Pipefish, a close cousin is even weirder. Look at these fishes and you will agree with me.
Along with sea horses and sea dragons, the pipefish belong to the group
Syngnathidae. There are thousands of species living in the oceans.
Like their sea horse brethren, the male pipefishes also do parenting duties like carrying eggs and also “giving birth”.
Most of the pipefish species live in the coral reefs. Some can also be spotted in sea grass beds. Here are some more photos of them.
I hope that you will enjoy this post.
Pipefish, like seahorses, are incredibly difficult to keep in captivity and fragile so it’s best left to highly experienced keepers or professional facilities.

I used to keep a blue-striped pipefish, one of the ones in the top photo. They’re lovely little fish to watch, they glide beautifully around on invisible fins and intently inspect anything and everything for small creatures to snikt up with their little beaks.
