- Group: Seahorse
- Typical depth: to 8 m
- For divers: safe
- IUCN status: DD
This small pipefish lives on coral reefs in inshore waters, a benthic species that rarely strays far from the bottom. The male broods the eggs in a pouch beneath his tail, and so little is firmly known about its numbers that it is listed as data deficient.
