Yellow Multibanded Pipefish

General information

The Yellow Multibanded Pipefish is a type of reef pipefish or flagtail pipefish. This fish is a stronger swimmer than its seahorse cousins and rarely comes into direct contact with the substrate. In the wild, the Yellow Multibanded Pipefish can be found swimming under rocky overhangs, corals, or close to the floor of its reef habitat. The Yellow Multibanded Pipefish has a long, slender body with a tiny, tubular mouth and an oval, flag-like tail. The body is yellow with bright red to maroon vertical rings from head to the tail. The tail is bright red with a white tip and yellow dot in the center.
