Banded Pipefish

Dunckerocampus dactyliophorus

Reef Safe

The Banded Pipefish, scientifically known as Dunckerocampus dactyliophorus, is an enchanting addition to any reef aquarium. These slender, elongated fish are renowned for their graceful movements and intriguing behavior. While they may resemble seahorses, pipefish have a more streamlined body and lack the distinctive pouch found in male seahorses. Banded Pipefish are reef-safe, peacefully coexisting with other tank mates and contributing to the ecosystem by feeding on small crustaceans and zooplankton. Their striking appearance and captivating swimming patterns make them a prized choice for aquarists seeking to enhance the beauty and diversity of their underwater environment.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
