Thread Pipefish

Kyonemichthys rumengani

Group: Seahorse
Typical depth: 15–20 m
IUCN status: LC

Astonishingly thin, this thread pipefish hangs over low relief mud and silt bottoms, so wispy it can be hard to pick out from the debris around it. Divers report individuals clinging stubbornly to the same rock where they were first seen.

Taxonomy: Animalia › Chordata › Teleostei › Syngnathiformes › Syngnathidae › Kyonemichthys
