What do snake pipe fish eat?

Snake pipefish, like other pipefish, are carnivores. They primarily feed on tiny crustaceans such as:

* Copepods: These are small, planktonic crustaceans that are abundant in marine environments.

* Amphipods: These are small, shrimp-like crustaceans that live in a variety of habitats.

* Mysid shrimp: These are small, transparent shrimp that are found in coastal waters.

They also occasionally eat small fish larvae.

How do they eat?

Snake pipefish have long, thin snouts with tiny mouths at the end. They use their snouts to suck up their prey from the water.

They are opportunistic feeders and will eat whatever they can catch. However, their diet is primarily composed of the tiny crustaceans listed above.
