Ghost Pipefishes [Solenostomidae]

Description

Ghost pipefishes are masters of camouflage, blending into seagrass, rubble, or coral edges with leaf-like or mottled body patterns. Divers may spot them only when they slowly shift position—often hovering in place like a living piece of underwater debris.
