| Weedy seadragon Phylloperyx taeniolatus in its natrual suroundings in kelpleefs where it blends in very well with the background Information below copied fromhttp://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/fishfacts/fish/ptaeniolatus.htm This species is related to the seahorses. Unlike seahorses however, the seadragons do not have a pouch for rearing the young. Instead, male seadragons carry the eggs fixed to the underside of the tail until they eventually hatch. The Weedy Seadragon grows to 46 cm in length. This superbly camouflaged fish usually occurs in kelp-covered rocky reefs at depths from about 3 m to 50 m. It feeds on mysids and other small crustaceans. This species is endemic to (only found in) Australian temperate marine waters. It occurs from the central New South Wales coast around the south coast of Australia to south-western Western Australia. | |
