Dunker's Pipehorse
Solegnathus dunckeri
- Group: Seahorse
- For divers: safe
- IUCN status: DD
A pipehorse of the continental shelf and slope, this fish bridges the look of a pipefish and a seahorse with its long, partly curled body. The male carries the brood beneath his tail, and so little is known about its numbers that it is listed as data deficient.
