Messmate Pipefish twinning in the rubble strewn seabed
Messmate Pipefish blending into the algae and dead corals strewn on the seabed as it winds its way through the rubble. Although they are only tiny fish, Messmate Pipefish are also known as Dragonface Pipefish due to their remarkably dragon-like facial structure.
Individually crafted - we take pride in our unique collection of underwater photography. Our high quality photo prints featuring pictures of tropical fish are printed individually to order.
