Improbable Beasts
As mentioned on the phone, leafy seadragons from Seattle Aquarium. S. Australian, cool waters; live in seaweed - duh!; eat small shrimp and other floating titbits; true bony fishes related to seahorse and pipefish - hence the male gestates; grow to about 40 cm; numbers unknown - protected from the usual culprits, collectors and makers of traditional medicines; fins absolutely minimal - tiny flutterings at the heads and spine - drift along angled in the water (just fast enough to blur in my little digital camera in low light).
