Reasons Species Should be Reclassified:

If Requesting New Classification
Research or Links to information on Species:	Banded Pipefish - http://www.fishbase.org/summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=5972

Other Details
Other Information:	Has been reared commercially - http://seahorsesanctuary.com.au/seahorse-pictures-gallery/ Species is presumed to carry eggs externally and hatch well developed fry. Rearing attempts with this and other species suggest feeding difficulties. I know that Seaworld in Florida has even attempted to rear this species.
