On a Cottesloe reef, a scrap of seaweed could be a very good disguise. Look closely: it could be one of Cottesloe's seadragons! The leafy seadragon and the weedy seadragon are fish, with branching frills that help them disappear among the reef’s kelp. Even their family life is unusual, with the males carrying the eggs beneath their tails.
If you’re lucky enough to meet one of our seadragons, enjoy it quietly where it is. Give it space, leave the seaweed undisturbed and let a very convincing piece of camouflage get on with its day.
