Lembeh Sea Dragon (Kyonemichthys rumengani)
Pulau Abadi, Lembeh.
The last pic of this encounter with one of the smallest and better camouflaged fishes in the family of sea horses and pipefishes, Syngnathidae. It is so tiny and looks so much like a piece of algae that I would have never seen it without our skilled guide!
