Pipefish?

[Goingforsound]

Hi!

I saw this little guy today near two chromodoris that I was checking out.

Its about 8cm long and it was located at 14m in Camiguin, Philippines. I checked a marine ID books for pipe fish at the diveshop and did not find anything with this leafy pattern.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

JC

Just noticed this post.

Seen this in Lembeh a few years back, they called it a winged pipefish.
