Pipefish, belonging to the family Syngnathidae, which also includes seahorses and seadragons, are characterized by their long, thin bodies and tubular snouts. These fish are found in a variety of marine environments, often among seagrasses and corals where they can easily hide from predators and ambush small prey like copepods and shrimp larvae. Pipefish have unique breeding behaviors; similar to seahorses, male pipefish often carry the eggs until they hatch. Conservation of pipefish varies by species, with some being more at risk due to habitat loss and the aquarium trade.
