Acentronura breviperula Fraser-Brunner & Whitley, 1949
Pipehorse, 5.0cm

We have seen these at Puri Jati and various muck sites in the Tulamben area. They usually have their tails wrapped around algae or bottom debris and are often very cryptic. Those with branching processes on the head are sometimes seen as A. tentaculata, which Kuiter (2009) says is "Almost certainly a Red Sea endemic." The group may need more work.
