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.

wow, can you buy them as pets?

[lbfreder]

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

I saw these at the aquarium and I was sure they were from another planet. These creatures are incredible.

sea horses dont swim liek most fish do, they use the water current usually
