The Weedy sea dragon or common sea dragon, Phyllopteryx
taeniolatus, is a marine fish related to the seahorse. It is the only member of
the genus Phyllopteryx. It is found in water 3 to 50 m deep around the south
coast of Australia, from Port Stephens, New South Wales to Geraldton, Western
Australia. It also found in the waters around Tasmania. Weedy sea dragons are
named for the weed-like growth on their bodies. This camouflage hides them as
they move among the seaweed beds where they live. The weedy sea dragon is the
aquatic emblem for the state of Victoria.
