Description:

The robust ghost pipefish, Solenostomus cyanopterus mimic dead seagrass, he is doing this so well that he will lie flat on the bottom and take on a pattern of coralline algae.

Notes:

These pictures were taken in the philippines with a video camera, unfortunaly I had a wide angle lens on it.
