Festucalex erythraeus
provided by wikipedia EN
Festucalex erythraeus, known commonly as the red pipefish,[2][3] is a species of marine pipefish of the family Syngnathidae. It is found throughout the Indo-Pacific, from Mozambique and South Africa to Hawaii, Honshu (Japan), and New Caledonia.[1] It lives among rubble and coral or rocky reefs at depths of 18–40 metres (59–131 ft), where they can grow to lengths of 10 centimetres (3.9 in).[4] They are expected to feed on small crustaceans, such as gammarid shrimps, mysids, and harpacticoid copepods.[1] This species is ovoviviparous, with males brooding eggs and giving birth to live young. Males may brood at lengths of around 5.5 centimetres (2.2 in).[4] It is exported from Hawaii as part of the aquarium trade.[5]
Festucalex amakusensis and Festucalex townsendi which some authorities consider to be synonyms of F. erythraeus are considered by other authorities to be valid species.[5]
