Mimicry
Leafy sea dragon that listed as a near threatened species and endemic to Australia. It was always difficult to find them due to mimic the surrounding kelp although their size of 40 cm even. It is one of the most beautiful elaborate mimicry creatures on the earth. It has been captured for ornamental purposes because of this beautiful appearance, and is vulnerable to stress, so the number has been reduced.
