Leafy sea dragon is a marine fish. It lives along the coast of Australia. The leaf-like protrusions serve as camouflage. It propels itself by means of a pectoral fin on the ridge of its neck and a dorsal fin on its back closer to the tail end. These small fins are almost completely transparent.
@lbfreder i think i saw this creature before... in a fishing trip in the Mallacca Channel the coast of Malaysia...I dunno how it got there... but after the great tsunami of 2004... a lot of strange creature has come out on our shores....
They feed on tiny mysid shrimp called sealice, plankton and small fish. A leafy sea dragon may eat more than 1,000 mysids in one day. They are now officially protected by the Australian Government.
these animals are so fantastic and dreamy. look a litle like my mixed lettece i ate tonight lol. i wonder how much terratory they cover in a day? love them and all seahorses!!!!!!

Considering they are a protected creature and they have unusual eating habits, I think ownership should be left to the wild or trained professionals.

These are amazing animals, I saw this pair of leafy sea dragons once. I wonder how much they would cost IF you could buy them.
