Weedy Sea Dragon  Phyllopteryx taeniolatus

From last Friday's dive, a juvenile weedy sea dragon, probably about 150 mm long or so.   They live on the sand edge and I tried getting a sand BG, but the weedy would have none of it.

Excellent image of the whole creature - I like the setting, even it it's not the sand you wanted.

A neat shot of one delightfully patterned critter - superb!


All the best
