Banded Pipefish [Corythoichthys intestinalis]
Description
The Banded Pipefish is a small, elegant reef fish that typically perches in sheltered areas, often close to branching corals or sea fans. Divers may notice its bold banding pattern as it stays remarkably still, then flicks away with surprising speed when approached.
