FBname: Mushroom-coral pipefish
Comments: Inhabits coastal reefs, usually along the bottom of shallow drop-offs, and in small groups on the solitary coral.  Apparently commensal with solitary corals (e.g. <i>Fungia echinata</i>).  Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205).  The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Also found among tentacles of mushroom corals (often <i>Heliofungia actiniformes</i> ) (Ref 90102).
