Spiny Sea Dragon
A relative of the seahorse, Spiny Sea Dragons are found in the ocean depths, and are rarely seen by anyone other than deep sea divers.
Spiny Sea Dragon
They are recognisable by their long spiny body and long snout,
and their vibrant orange skin with yellow and pink stripes.
Our Spiny Sea dragons come from the unique ecological
environment of NZ's Milford Sounds. They are the only
creatures of their kind able to be seen in any aquarium in
the world!
Very little is currently known about Spiny Sea Dragons, and
having them at Kelly Tarlton's means that experts will be able to
study them and learn about how we can potentially breed and protect
them for future generations.
