Up to 11cm. Shrot skin filaments in snout and body and fins with jagged edges, giving spiky appearance. We saw him solitary and hanging next to soft coral where it mimetized really well with the branches of the coral. Lankayan Island, Borneo.
The ornate ghost pipefish or harlequin ghost pipefish, ''Solenostomus paradoxus'', is a false pipefish of the family Solenostomidae.
