Halimeda ghost pipefish - Solenostomus halimeda

A wonderful surprise was a pair of Halimeda pipefish, so named after the algae this one is shown in front of. Their variation in color is represented in the small male, which is well matched to segments of the algae that become paler as they wither and die. Solenostomus halimeda, 1 inch (25mm).
