Daily fish fact #384

Common seadragon!

Unlike their seahorse relatives, they lack the prehensile tail which would allow them to grasp onto objects! They instead float freely, relying on their camouflage to not get eaten.

I'm happy I got to see the Weedy Seadragons (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) in the wild at Flinders Pier:)

Last year April I dived at Portsea Pier, Mornington Peninsula I missed out seeing them. I got an opportunity to come back to Melbourne and glad I got the chance to dive again, though a few degrees colder. Thanks to my friends for linking me up with divers @melbourne_uni_underwater_club 🤿

Weedy Seadragons inhabit the coastal temperate waters of Australia at kelp-covered rocky reefs. Same family as seahorses but are larger, more mobile and tend to orient at a more horizontal angle.

For the Seadragon video head over to my other socials:)

This weekend for my partner's birthday we took a daytrip down to Ripley's Aquarium in the Smokies, our second time visiting! I just love their exhibits.

Here's some weedy seadragons and pot-bellied seahorses!

Yesterday my wife asked me my favorite animal. I told them two, because I’m ADHD and can’t make a choice.

Today I got to watch weedy seadragons in an aquarium, and they were so beautiful and alien and enchanting that if I weren’t with someone else who wanted to do things other than stare at a single exhibit of weird fish, I would have sat there all day. I now have three favorite animals.

I’m less than a week out from my thirty-fifth birthday, and I just found a new favorite animal. I love that there doesn’t stop being surprise and wonder in the world, even in things you technically knew existed before, you’ve seen them on a screen, but then they’re right there and they’re just… breathtaking.
