Leafy Seadragon

Uploaded: September 24, 2015 | Entered: September 24, 2015 15:51:10

Description

This Leafy Seadragon has lost most of its leaves it seem. They are in the same fish family as seahorses and pipefish. The leaves only function as camouflage. The seadragons are propelled by a dorsal fin and pectoral fin which are transparent and very hard to see. If you look hard you can see them on this capture. Have a nice week-end my friends.
