leafy seadragons...~$10,000 each and on the CITES list I believe.

In Tampa they had about 10 tanks of them 5-6 each tank

This is the picture I took this past Oct at the Georgia Aquarium. I watched this tank for 30 minutes. Incredible.

There are a few big aquariums in Australia and the US that capture the pregnant males, raise the young to a sustainable size and then release them back into the wild to increase their numbers. Some researchers believe the leafy and weedy seadragons are actually the same species but are highly morphologically and genetically plastic to their local environment. Shedd had them in a temporary seahorse exhibit a few years back. Sweet fish, definitely in my top ten list.

Shedd still had two tanks of them when I went in December.
