おもしろい事実
Did you know pipefish are relatives of seahorses, sharing similar bony armor?
Their tiny eyes can move independently, letting them watch in two directions at once!
They often float vertically, perfectly mimicking a blade of seagrass or debris!
Unlike most fish, their stiff bodies are made of protective bony rings, not scales!
