Pipefishes [Syngnathus]

Description

Syngnathus is a genus of pipefishes, known for their elongated bodies encased in bony rings. They inhabit a wide range of marine and brackish environments globally. Like seahorses, male pipefishes often carry the fertilized eggs until they hatch. They feed by sucking small prey through their tube-like mouths.
