Seaweed Swayers

Seadragons resemble swaying seaweed, which can make

them difficult to find in their natural habitats. Their bright

colours are revealed in sun dappled waters or under bright

camera lights. Both species of seadragons inhabit rocky

reefs, seaweed beds, seagrass meadows and structures

colonised by seaweed.

They are more often seen in shallow coastal waters

and feed by sucking plankton, larval fish and

small shrimp-like crustaceans, called mysids, into

their small mouths
