Aren't they the coolest! The aquarium in Chattanooga Tennessee had some of those. Those were the first I had ever seen. It would really be neat to see them in their natural habitat

wow those are awsome. is there any way to have them in a home tank? I don't think I could do that now but in the future I would really consider 1. is there any "stats" on them with tank size what they eat water temp. pH level and all the others??

 

They are a protected species.
To my knowledge, they are not available to own by the private individual.

Very much like seahorses. The last time we were at the Perth Aquarium we were told that if a breading program was succesfull, it could be possible to buy sea dragons for the home aquarium. But this could still be some 10 years away.

 

Truly a beautiful specimen
