Field Notes

Description:

Thin green fish that is disguised as a piece of eel grass, with a long snout.

Habitat:

Pacific coast bays, among eel grass.

Notes:

You really have to look closely to tell this is a fish, not grass. This one was in the Oregon Coast Aquarium, but they can be found in Yaquina Bay.
