Description
Pipefish are reef-safe with caution. Like its seahorse relative, the pipefish is a very slow swimmer. This species also likes to hook on to things with its tail. If the pipefish hooks on to a stinging coral, it will be in trouble. Pipefish are like seahorses in that the male gives birth. The female deposits their eggs after fertilization into the males pouch located under their tail to incubate the eggs for one month before giving birth.
