Harlequin ghost pipefish (Solenostomus paradoxus) or ornate ghost pipefish. This is a rare fish found alone or in pairs around coral reefs. Its colouration and appearance helps it to mimic corals,camouflaging it from predators. The harlequin ghost pipefish,which inhabits the Indo- Pacific region,reaches lengths of 12 centimetres. It feeds on crustaceans that it sucks up with its tube-like mouth. Photographed in the Andaman Sea,Thailand | |
