Leafy seadragon by fossil forager

✨🐉 Spotlighting this leafy seadragon illustration by fossil forager!

Artist and naturalist Nicole perfectly captures the textured, armored body and delicate, leaf-shaped appendages of one of the ocean’s most magical creatures in this striking golden palette.

These #IconicFishes are truly uniqueand are only found off the southern cost of Australia! Just like other fishes in the family, they also have the ability to change colors!
