Pygmy Pipehorse

I came across this cute little fellow whilst diving at Bare Island, La Perouse, Sydney, Australia. Taken with my Nikon 7900. Sydney's Pygmy Pipehorse (Idiotropiscis lumnitzeri kuiteris) is named after Akos Lumnitzer who collected the type specimens.

Introductory Rust Diving on the Wreck of the MalabarIntroductory Rust Diving on the Wreck of the Malabar
Around 7:00am on Thursday, April 2, 1931, a dense fog suddenly rolled into Long Bay, obscuring the northern headland. On the bridge of MV Malabar, en-route from Melbourne to Sydney, Captain George Leslie recognised the danger and ordered 5 degrees rudder to steer the ship seaward to pass further offshore than his original plan of half a mile.
