Leafy SeaDragons

'Leafies' are slightly smaller than 'weedies', some growing to 43cm.

Their leafy appendages are more numerous and branching than

on 'weedies' and look distinctly like fronds of brown seaweed.

Adults are green to yellow-brown with thin, pale dark-edged bands.

Unlike 'weedies', the eyes are located slightly above the snout.

Leafies have several long sharp spines along the sides of

The body.
