Acentronura gracilissima

This is a pipefish that is known to inhabit the waters of Japan and Vietnam. It is called the "bastard seahorse". It is likely named after the Japanese word for seahorses, which translates to "dragon's bastard". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Acentronura_gracilissima&oldid=1046109475 They can reach depths of 130 feet deep. As pipehorses, they are closely related to seahorses, and the male also stores the female's eggs in a pouch, though it doesn't look the same as on an upright seahorse (as they are a horizontal, thin fish).https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Acentronura_gracilissima&oldid=1046109475
