Behavior
Whether you will see them anchored or not in their natural surroundings depends on if they have the prehensile tail or not. They aren’t very active creatures other than for finding food.
Diet /Feeding
Crustaceans, small shrimp, and plankton are the types of food that the Pipefish consume. They have a body shape that allows them to get into tiny cracks and crevices along the corral reef. They do need to feed often though and this helps them to do so. They don’t have a digestive system so they run out of energy and nutrients fast.
They have a very thin snout and so they can’t consume sources of food that are very large at all. That can be tough if there are many larger types of prey around but nothing small enough that they can successfully swallow it whole.
