Robust Ghost Pipefish – Mating Fight
Solenostomus cyanopterus

Jun 29th, 2011 // In: Robust // By: Comments 0

Robust Ghost Pipefish usually hang vertically in the water, not moving, pretending to be a bit of Sea Grass.

Here we have two males (the two smaller Pipefish) fighting over a female (the lager one with the larger pelvic fins). It was fascinating to watch and I ran out of bottom time before I could see who won.
