Meet our Weedy Sea Dragons!
SEA LIFE Melbourne has achieved a remarkable milestone by successfully breeding and raising weedy sea dragons for the sixth time, solidifying its position as a world leader in weedy sea dragon husbandry.
Fun fact:
Weedy sea dragons have amazing camouflage abilities. Their bodies are covered in leaf-like protrusions, helping them blend seamlessly with seaweed and kelp.
