Leafy Sea Dragon (Phycodurus eques)
Appearance: the leafy sea dragon has a leaf like appearance that makes it easy for them to hide amongst seaweed and hard for their predator to find them. Adults are a yellow or green colour with thin stripes. They can grow to 45cm.
Habitat: the leafy sea dragon lives amongst seagrass, seaweed beds, rocky reefs. The leafy sea dragon can only be found on the Southern coast of Australia.
Food & Feeding: the leafy sea dragon eats mysid shrimps and sea lice. It sucks it food through its pipe-like nose and small mouth.
Behaviour: the leafy sea dragon is slow moving and relies on its camouflage. It has some long sharp spines along the side of its body which is thought to be used when they are attacked by fish. They can also change colour to blend in with its surroundings. The leafy sea dragon moves like swaying seaweed or kelp. They have eyes that can look in opposite directions.
Family: the leafy sea dragon is related to the seahorse and is part of the pipefish family Sygnathidae. It is one of two sea dragons in southern Australia. The other is the Weedy sea dragon.
Is it endangered? The leafy sea dragon is endangered because of sea pollution and also because divers take them and keep them as pets (even though it is illegal).
