Schultz’s Pipefish (Corythoichthys schultzi) クチナガイシヨウジ (size 10cm)
Schultz’s Pipefish are about the size of an earthworm. I had found them here before but they were deeper and hiding under a ledge. This time one was on top ot the coral and I was able to get better pictures.. They are related to Sea Horses and Trumpetfish. They have a small tail and dorsal fin. Amami 2025
