Solenostomus sp.
Not sure exactly as to what species of ghost pipefish this is. About 2 inches (5 cm) long. Thinking it could be a juvenile ornate ghost pipefish (S. paradoxus). Anybody care to confirm? Spotted at Dive and Trek House reef during a night dive. Depth of about 6m

Hi whatsthatfish. Size is in my uploaded notes - about 2 inches (.5 cm).
Also can you confirm my other ghost pipefish spotting pls? - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/897...
Thanks!
Thanks for the suggested ID whatsthatfish. Was thinking of the same but most of the images I saw for the Delicate Ghost pipefish were not transparent as my spotting. Or maybe this is a juvenile? Care to confirm?
I do have another one which I will upload later that looks more like your suggestion. Would love you to check it out, as well as my other spottings of a parrotfish and cone snail both of which am not sure of the scientific names :-)
