Have you seen this fish before? This is the Leafy Sea dragon. The Leafy Sea dragon's leaf like things help it to camouflage to the ocean floor because anyone will think that it is a coral or something. They are found in Western Australia. Its head really looks like the head of a sea horse isn't it? The Leafy Sea dragon is in the same family of the Sea horse, Syngnathidae. Small ones of theirs eat zooplanktons, and they eat mysids when they grow up. The Leafy Sea dragon is also the marine emblem of South Australia. There are three species of sea dragons- Leafy Sea Dragon, Common Sea dragon and the Ruby Sea dragon.
