What the heck is that an image of???

I was browsing the Adobe Lightroom website just now when I noticed an awesome underwater image. I've never seen a fish (if that's what it is) like this before. Does anyone here know what the heck that is?

Adobe - Photo Management Software - Photoshop Lightroom

They can sometimes grow to be nearly seven feet in length and have been known to swim up sewer pipes and into toilets very often. They lay there eggs which can also, unfortunately contaminate your drinking water and ice maker of your refrigerator.

Pleasent dreams.

I think it's called a Sea Dragon. I was just at the Birch Aquarium in La Jolla, Ca and took some pics of them. The mature ones look like swimming kelp. I'll post a few pics later when I get home.

I did some quick research and found that the lightroom image is called a Weedy Sea Dragon, and the others I thought were mature ones are called Leafy Sea Dragons and are larger.
