Idiosepius pygmaeus

Description:

Very small in size, just around 1 cm, and if you are not familiar with them, you would think its just a floating algae. Seen during sunset dive, just at the onset of night, they starts to come out to hunt/feed. This one just caught a krill/shrimp that is nearly its size.

It occurs in waters of the South China Sea, Japan, Philippines, Palau, Indonesia, Northern Mariana Islands, as well as northern and northeastern Australia. It inhabits shallow, inshore waters
