Leafy Sea Dragons [Phycodurus]
Description
Leafy sea dragons are among the most mesmerizing sights underwater, with elaborate, frond-like “leaves” that mimic seaweed. Divers may see them drifting slowly through kelp forests or rocky habitats, where their camouflage and graceful movement make them feel almost unreal.
