Kyonemichthys rumengani
Pygmy Pipehorse or Pygmy Pipedragon
Mostly found in overhangs in cracks and crevices. Usually seen in the late afternoon, during dusk and at night. It looks just like a string swinging with the water movement, with its tail wrapped around algae, overgrown whip corals or strings of algae. Very unusual critter which swims like a sea dragon and has a pygmy seahorse face. Discovered in November 2006 in north Sulawesi and just recently named.
