I'm very intrigued by this creature! No idea if I'm looking at some kind of animal (centipede) or a plant, but it looks beautiful Ti as if it's floating in the water.

@Monique: This is a Leafy Sea Dragon, close relative to sea horse but much bigger. Isn't it just beautiful?

So it was floating in the water ... unbelievable, never see or heard of these sea dragons before!
Thank you very much for the link!

@Monique: Don't you have aquariums over there? When it comes to aquarium, zoo and butterfly pavilion I could spend a whole day there!

I've never been into looking at animals hold in captivity :( but I sure don't want to spoil anyone else's fun ;)

@Monique: Sadly that's how the concept "if you can't come to the world, we'll bring the world to you" has taken us to this point....

Lucky you, I guess you've found your world! :-)
