the leafy sea dragon is a fish closely related to the sea horse. its main defense mechanism is pretending to be a floating bunch of sea weed. it swims very slowly and its dorsal and pectoral fins (which do all the swimming), are transparent. it is found in the southern and western coasts of Australia.
