Sea Dragons

The Sea Dragon features Weedy and Leafy Sea Dragons and Seahorses in a crystal clear under tropical ocean with undersea volcano. Sea Dragons are some of the most ornately camouflaged creatures on the planet. Adorned with gossamer, leaf-shaped appendages over their entire bodies, they are perfectly outfitted to blend in with the seaweed and kelp formations they live amongst. Normally in the waters off south and east Australia, leafy and weedy sea dragons are closely related to seahorses and pipefish. Leafy Sea Dragons are generally brown to yellow or neon green in body color with spectacular olive-tinted appendages. Weedy Sea Dragons are on the other hand, have less flamboyant projections and are usually reddish in color with yellow spots. Sea dragons have very long, thin snouts; slender trunks covered in bony rings; and thin tails which, unlike their seahorse cousins, cannot be used for gripping. They have small, transparent dorsal and pectoral fins that propel and steer them awkwardly through the water, but they seem quite content to tumble and drift in the current like seaweed. As with Sea Horses, males Sea Dragon are responsible for childbearing. But instead of a pouch, like Sea Horses have, male Sea Dragons had a spongy brood patch on the underside of the tail where females deposit their bright-pink eggs during mating. The eggs are fertilized during the transferred from the female to the male. The males incubate the eggs and carry them to term, releasing miniature Sea Dragons into the water after about four to six weeks. At the glance, the Weedy Sea Dragon looks like a floating twig, and the Leafy Sea Dragon, on the other hand, looks like a tree branch full of leaves. Sea Dragons are fish of mesmerizing and astonishing beauty...Their ornamentation helps camouflage them among sea grasses and kelp in the shallow coastal waters of Australia.
