Harlequin Ghostpipefish (Solenostomus paradoxus) - Couple
Madidir III, Lembeh.
I also have better pics of this species coming later on, but this one is nice because you can see the small male and the much bigger female, together. In case you wonder, they are both hanging upside down :-)
The ornate ghost pipefish or harlequin ghost pipefish, ''Solenostomus paradoxus'', is a false pipefish of the family Solenostomidae. The species name comes from the Greek ''paradoxos'', referring to this fish's unusual external features. Ornate ghost pipefish are found in the Western Pacific and the Indian Ocean along reef edges prone to strong currents.
