Diving with the amazing weedy seadragons (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) off the Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania, as featured on the recent BBC "Oceans" episode "Southern Ocean". Related to seaorses, weedy seadragons are only found in southern Australia - the largest and most colourful animals are found in southern Tasmania. They live amongst kelp and other seaweeds, and feed on small crustaceans such as mysids which they suck up individually using their tube-like snout. Like seahorses, the male carries the eggs. Filmed by Mick Baron.
