$266 at 16x16. Ornate ghost pipefish are the signature fish of the Philippines. The females are only an inch or 2 long, & the males are a tiny fraction of that--with extremely fragile & intricate appendages, including gossamer tail spines that cohere like clockworks. These amazingly beautiful critters are gold, yellow gold, black, red, red and black. They hover, unlike their cousins, the seahorse, who hang on with prehensile tails. They eat micro snax & have ornate ghost romance when the mood strikes. Truly an honor to meet these critters.
