x1 thread pipefish was seen for a couple of months in this area of this dive site. No longer there, may be due to the fact it was in hydroids which were slowly getting destroyed by nudibranchs.

On the wall of a pinnacle.
Holdfast = hydroids

Have seen thread pipefish in this particular region of Fiji, Namena Marine Reserve more than any other areas we dive here.

Seen in shallow sheltered bays, pinnacles and deeper reef walls.
