AllisonFinch 7 Posted May 24, 2007 A friend of mine from Sydney Australia sent me this intriguing photo he shot at Wollongong Island at the Pinnacle. He said it was tiny (approx. 1/2 inch). It has a pipefish shape with a prehensile tail. Could it be one of the pipehorses? He's never seen it before, nor have I. What do you all think? BTW, he gave permission to use the photo in this post, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lndr 0 Posted May 24, 2007 It is a Sydney's Pygmy Pipehorse Idiotropiscis lumnitzeri known from Sydney and Jervis Bay (and Wollongong is right in between). They are tiny and cute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
