Bluestripe Pipefish

Found singly or in pairs, hiding in crevices, of corals, rocks, and under ledges, in lagoons and fringing reefs.
They feed on tiny swimming crustaceans and plankton which they suck whole into their mouths.

Pipefish are like seahorses in that the male gives birth!
The female deposits their eggs after fertilisation into the males pouch located under their tail to incubate the eggs for one month before giving birth.
