Ghostly 'dance of a sea dragon' bbc
Quote:
The dance of the weedy sea dragon is captured for the BBC natural history series Life.

Weedy sea dragons are a type of fish related to seahorses and pipefish.
Two species exist. The weedy sea dragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) lives among weed beds in the seas off the southern coast of mainland Australia and Tasmania.
The leafy sea dragon (Phycodurus eques) lives further along the southern and western Australian coast.When a male and female weedy sea dragon come together to mate, they perform an elaborate courtship ritual known as a "mirror dance".


There was a national geographic article about these creatures several years ago. I had never viewed these cool videos before though.

They are very cool. The Leafy Sea Dragons look even more impressive, in my opinion, anyway, than the Weedy ones.
