No need to worry about this ghost… unless you’re a crustacean! The ornate ghost pipefish (Solenostomus paradoxus) haunts coral reefs and seaweed beds, where it feeds on organisms like small crustaceans and benthic shrimp. It can be spotted from East Africa to Australia in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific. This critter’s appearance can vary depending on its locale, with possible patterns of red and yellow distributed across its translucent body.
