Maroubra yasudai explained
Maroubra yasudai, also known as the orange pipefish, is a species of marine fish belonging to the family Syngnathidae. This species can be found in the Izu Oceanic Park along the coast of Honshu Island, Japan.[1] [2] They often inhabit rocky crevices and caves at depths ranging from 28 to 30 meters. Their diet likely consists of small crustaceans such as copepods.[3] Reproduction occurs through ovoviviparity in which the males brood eggs before giving live birth.
