Divers around the world recognize this creature as one of the most beautiful, fragile and precious of sea animals. Perfect for dive shops, bathrooms, pool areas and outdoor patios this wall hanging is hugely revered and admired. From US$80.00 / GB£40.00 / EU€51.00 Interesting background information: Weedy Sea Dragons are related to the Leafy Sea Dragon, Seahorses and Pipefish. These fish are only found in Australia on the southern coastline between Port Stephens, New South Wales and Geraldton, Western Australia, as well as around Tasmania at depths of 3 to 50 meters, most often spotted by divers in Sydney. The Weedy Sea Dragon is the expert of disguise having weed-like fins and appendages and changing color to mimic the seaweed beds they inhabit. They often sport orange, red and yellow markings with blueish-purple stripes. Weedy Sea Dragons feed on tiny crustaceans, mysids and other zooplankton, which they suck into their pipe-like snout. As adults, they can reach 45 cm in length. Unlike seahorses, male Sea Dragons do not rear their young in a pouch, but carry between 120 to 300 eggs fixed to the underside of their tail for about 2 months and then hatch the eggs over a period of 6 days. Weedy Sea Dragons are threatened by habitat destruction, and potentially by the aquarium trade and are protected under Australian Fisheries legislation federally and in most states where they occur - it is illegal to take or export them without a permit.
