Rapid Bay jetty, South Australia, is home to some leafy seadragon characters
This week’s reader photo was taken by Linda in Rapid Bay, South Australia:
“The beautiful leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques) at Rapid Bay jetty. I was fortunate this dragon swam up out of the sea grass to get a clear shot. Rapid Bay jetty is full of fish life and soft corals growing on the pylon of the jetty. I have been told leafy seadragons are only found in Australia. How lucky are we!,” she said.
