Cool Cousins!

As we all know (I think) the seahorse is incredibly clever. But they also have some cousins that are also incredible as the masters of camoflage. The Leafey Sea-dragon, is covered from head to toe in flakey skin that makes it look like a piece of coral. This makes it hard for predators to spot. The Pipefish, comes in lots of different colours and patterns so that if it stood in a clump of seaweed, it would be difficult to spot. My particular favourite type is the zebra striped pipefish.

Hello!

Hello!  My name is Niamh and I am a year 7 student from NZ.  I have created this blog because I am obsessed with anything to do with Marine Biology.  My favourite types of fish are the Orange Fairy Basslett and the Nudibranch.  In this blog there will be tons of info about the ocean dwellers and also some clips .  Enjoy!
