Northern Pipefish

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Pipefish

Syngnathus fuscus

Size: to 12"

Habitat: Weedy protected shore waters.

Notes:

The Northern Pipefish is the only common inshore species in our area. Pipefishes are closely related to Seahorses and found in the same kind of habitats. They lack the seahorse's prehensile tail but are much better swimmers than their coiled cousins.
