Weedy Sea Dragon  Phyllopteryx taeniolatus

From last Friday's dive, the weedy is quite commonly seen on this dive site, we saw at least 5 separate weedies.  It's probaly the best dive site to spot them.  Unfortunately they're a little large for the macro lens and you need to be well back from them which doesn't help in murky water.
