Many-banded Pipefish

Found singly or in pairs, amongst corals, in crevices and reef caves, often seen swimming upside down in cave ceilings.
They feed by sucking tiny invertebrates 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.
