Sea Moths
These fishes belong in the "Order Gasterosteiformes" and "Suborder Syngnathoidei" as members of the "Family Pegasidae" (Sea Moths) consisting of 2 genera, and 5 species.
This family only consists of five species, and of those five only a few are worth mentioning as they are rarely ever seen in the trade, and besides they are extremely difficult to maintain in captivity. For in-depth information concerning these fishes, checkout 'Reef Fishes' Volume 1' by Scott Michael (ISBN #1-890087-21-1).
