Solenostomus paradoxus (Pallas, 1770)
Ornate ghost pipefish, 12.0cm

We saw these at numerous sites at Puri Jati, Amed and in the Tulamben area. Always fairly common, they were downright abundant in Novenber of 2012. They usually hang around crinoids or soft corals or anything else on the bottom, and frequently match pretty well in color the object they are near.

Younger specimens.
