(Günther, 1873)
Very special thanks for the first photo of the rare pipefish to Dr. Gerry R. Allen.
Dr. Allen has Taken this photo at Anilao, Luzon, Philippines a depthrange of 1 - 20 mets.
The Glittering Pipefish are easily recognised with their distinctive zebra-like pattern of dark brown and silvery-white bands encircling the head and body.

Synonym:
Syngnathus nitidus Günther, 1873
Classification: Biota > Animalia (Kingdom) > Chordata (Phylum) > Vertebrata (Subphylum) > Gnathostomata (Superclass) > Pisces (Superclass) > Actinopteri (Class) > Syngnathiformes (Order) > Syngnathidae (Family) > Syngnathinae (Subfamily) > Halicampus (Genus) > Halicampus nitidus (Species)
Feeding intake.
The fish take a long time to eat at the beginning, before the food is taken up, a close inspection is carried out. After acclimatisation, the offered frozen food is eaten without problems. It should be noted that wild-caught fish behave differently than offspring when it comes to food intake. In the case of offspring, the size of the fish purchased also plays a role in the choice of food.
