You are right! A bunch of us actually dived at Inscription Point a few days ago and encountered a female WSD. What a beautiful animal. You may be surprised to hear that the standard name of the species has been changed to common seadragon, but I think it will be quite some time before the name is taken up by the diving community. There is a bunch more information on the species at http://www.australianmuseum.net.au/Weedy-Seadragon-Phyllopteryx-taeniolatus/.

Desert Isles of the Coral Sea
- It was one of those places where the forces which govern life seem to come to a focus of preternatural beauty and intensity. I stood in a small grassy field. It was bounded by a dazzling band of coral sand. Crystalline aquamarine shallows grading into turquoise surrounded the islet. Farther out, a broad shallow reef flat fashioned a skirt of many colors terminating in a hemline of sparkling white breakers. Beyond, an endless sea of indigo blue velvet spread out to the horizon. Life was everywhere.
