Upside-down Pipefish
(Heraldia nocturna)
(Heraldia nocturna)
The Upside-down Pipefish (Heraldia nocturna) is an unusual and hard to spot, the size of a pen with a fantastic tail that looks like a children's storybook about dragons. This strange looking fish in the family of pipefish (Syngnathidae) is hard to spot since it hangs upside down on the ceiling of overhangs and crevices and is very well camouflaged. We can see this pipefish species across a number of dive sites but only if you look very carefully.
