"A fish with a straw for a mouth."

⑥ Things about Pipefish 🐟 Pipefish are carnivorous creatures, feeding on tiny crustaceans, plankton, and small fish larvae, which they suck up using their specialized, tube-like mouths. 🌿 To blend in with their surroundings, pipefish often position themselves vertically among seagrasses, making them almost invisible to predators. 🎨 Some species of pipefish can even change color to match their environment, enhancing their camouflage even further. 🚬 The name “pipefish” comes from their long, slender bodies that resemble old-fashioned smoking pipes. 🌿 In certain cultures, dried pipefish are used in traditional medicine for their believed health benefits. 👶 Like seahorses, male pipefish carry the eggs in a special brood pouch until they hatch — a rare trait in the animal kingdom!
