Lissocampus bannwarthi

They are found in the coastal waters of the northern Red Sea in sandy substrates from depths of 0 to 3 meters.[4][5][6] Their primary food source likely consists of small crustaceans and amphipods.[7] Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity, in which the males carry eggs in a brood pouch underneath their tail before giving birth to live offspring.[5][8]
