Ökologie

Größe / Gewicht / Alter
Geschlechtsreife: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 6.3 cm TL Männchen/unbestimmt; (Ref. 4281)
Rückenflossenstacheln (insgesamt) : 0; Rückenflossenweichstrahlen (insgesamt) : 16 - 17; Afterflossenstacheln: 0; Afterflossenweichstrahlen: 4. Brown in color, dermal flaps blackish. Caudal absent in sub adults and adults. Females are slender and pipefish-like, but larger males are more seahorse-like (Ref. 48635).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Typically found on small and sparse seagrass or algae that grow adjacent to reefs at shallow to moderate depths. Usually found in pairs (Ref. 48635). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).
