    The closest match I can come up with is the Robust Ghostpipefish, (Solenostomus cyanopterus).

    How big were they?

    But that is an odd body depth for a Robust ghost pipefish.....I have hot the on video and they don't look much like those two at all.

    It was my first encounter with them! They were at 40ft or less in Rubble.

    I thought they were F-17s???

    Ok, that is a better profile photo, as I thought there may have been a rather odd snout to body height aspect ratio....this gives us a little more to go on.

    In the Philippines and Indonesia I see robust ghost pipefish, but their bodies are not so tall.
