🌊Leafy seadragon
Der Große Fetzenfisch (Phycodurus eques) ist ein Fisch aus der Familie der Seenadeln (Syngnathidae) und die einzige Art in der Gattung Phycodurus. Er lebt in den kühleren Gewässern an der Südküste Westaustraliens und Südaustraliens in Tiefen von 3 bis 30 Metern. Sporadisch kommt er auch an der Südküste Victorias und an der südlichen Westküste Western Australias vor. Sein bevorzugtes Habitat sind an Sandflächen angrenzende Felsriffe, die von Braunalgen, vor allem der Gattung Ecklonia bewachsen sind. Daher auch der wissenschaftliche Name: von (gr.) phykodes tangartig, ouros Schwanz, und (lat.) eques Reiter.
