Straight-nosed Pipefish
Nerophis ophidion
Straight-nosed Pipefish inhabit sheltered coastal shallows, eelgrass beds, and brackish lagoons. They drift upright among vegetation and suck tiny crustaceans into their narrow snouts. Males carry developing eggs in a brood pouch until the young are released.
