100 Day Project Day 43: Weedy Sea Dragon

43/100 - Weedy Sea Dragon⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Weedy sea dragons may not be as flamboyant as their leafy siblings but I still think they're pretty fun! Also found in Australia, they also are known as the "common sea dragon" and can reach up to 15 inches long.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Sadly they are collected for sale as pets and used in medicines so the species is considered near threatened by Australian authorities. The IUCN lists them as least concern but note that their population is declining.⁠⁠
