What better time to celebrate the #GhostPipefish than halloween 👻

Meet the mysterious ghost pipefishes! With their eerie appearances, sneaky camouflage tricks, and names like Harlequin and Armoured Ghost Pipefish, they’re the perfect muse for your art this spooky season.

These #iconicFishes, close relatives of seahorses and seadragons, don’t get nearly as much attention as their famous cousins. But you can help us change that 💙

Ghost pipefishes are vulnerable to the destruction of their fragile coral reef and seaweed habitats, both of which are under considerable pressure from human activities. Given their allure among scuba divers, these quirky fishes can serve as ambassadors for their habitats and inspire action to reduce fisheries impacts and climate change.

One way we’re bringing that vision to life is through art - helping people see, learn about, and fall in love with these extraordinary fishes.

Here's how you can get involved:
