Solenostomus halimeda Orr, Fritzsche & Randall, 2002
Halimeda ghost pipefish, ~12cm

These were found on muck sites in the Tulamben area, often around Halimeda or Caulerpa algae. Fishbase lists the maximum size as 4.7cm but ours have been much larger, at least to 12cm and probably more.

Missing its tail up to the second dorsal and anal fins.
