Harleqin Ghost Pipefish

Solenostomus paradoxus

Mergui Archipelago, Myanmar (Burma), 2002

High on the wish list for underwater photographers is this cousin of the seahorse. Beautifully ornate, their body design and colorful markings act as camoflage when they hide among the branching soft corals. Finding one is a thrill, the highlight of any dive.
