flagtail pipefish
''Doryrhamphus'' and ''Dunckerocampus'', popularly known as flagtail pipefish,〔Weiss, T. (2005). ''(Flagtail Pipefish In The Home Aquarium. )'' Fusedjaw〕 are two genera of fishes in the Syngnathidae family. They are found in warm, relatively shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific, with a single species, ''D. paulus'', in the eastern Pacific.〔Kuiter, R. H. (2003). ''Seahorses, Pipefishes, and their relatives.'' 2nd edition. TMC Publishing. Chorleywood. ISBN 0-9539097-4-3〕 Most of these pipefishes are very colourful, and are fairly popular in the marine aquarium hobby despite requiring special care and not being recommended for beginners.〔〔Schultz III, H. C. (2003). ''(There's More to Pipes Than Just PVC: The Genus Doryrhamphus and Other Pipefish. )'' Reefkeeping〕
Their habit of flashing the distinctly patterned tails during courtship and other displays have earned them their English popular name.〔 Adults are highly territorial and usually live in pairs.〔〔 They feed on tiny crustaceans and other small animals, and most species from the genus ''Doryrhamphus'' will sometimes act as cleaners.〔
