Leafy Seadragon
Leafy Sea Dragons ( Phycodurus eques? ) are arguably the most spectacular and mysterious of all ocean fish. Though close relatives of sea horses, sea dragons have larger bodies and leaf-like appendages which enable them to hide among floating seaweed or kelp beds. Sea dragons feed on larval fishes and small shrimp-like crustaceans called "sea lice", sucking up their prey in their small mouths. Fotografiert in der Underwater World in Pattaya, Thailand.

Hi - Christian & Ruediger - dieser "dragon' ist mir besser gelungen als der in Langkawi damals - hier ist aber auch der Hintergrund besser, obwohl schwieriger da die Pflanze ja fast die gleiche Farbe hat.LG aus Bangkok
