Common name: Ghost Pipefish
Scientific name: Solenostomidae
The Solenostomidae family, commonly known as Ghost Pipefish, are small, ornate fish that are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their unique appearance and behavior. They are closely related to seahorses and pipefish. Members of this family exhibit remarkable camouflage and can often be found hovering head-down among seagrasses, corals, and other marine plants. They are known for their ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings, making them fascinating additions to a peaceful reef aquarium. Ghost Pipefish are generally hardy but require a well-established tank with plenty of hiding places and a diet of small live foods.
