Leafy Sea Drangon's

What's that? A piece of sea weed? Nope its called a Leafy Sea Dragon. Sea Dragon's are arguably the most spectacular and mysterious of all fish. Their close relatives is Sea horses. The leaf like appendages, which enable them to hide among floating sea weed. 

When mating, the Sea Dragon puts out 250 eggs onto the "brood patch" on the underside of the mails tail. After about 8 weeks, the brood hatches. In nature only about 5 percent of Sea dragons survive to maturity, which is 2 years. A fully grown Sea Dragon grows about 18 inches.

Some sources says Sea Dragon's are fought in the ocean of Southern Western Australia, South Australia, and further east along the coastline of Victoria province, Australia. Sea Dragons are protected under Australia law, and their export is strictly regulated. So if you want to buy one, and yes they do sale them they cost $15,000 dollars so make sure you got some serious money in your pocket.
