Histiogamphelus briggsii, also known as Brigg's pipefish, is a species of marine fish in the family Sygnathidae.[2] It can be found in the shallow waters (up to 30 m (98 ft) in depth) surrounding South Australia, New South Wales, and Northern Tasmania.[3][4] Its habitat can consist of reefs, seagrass beds, and sandy beach and estuarine environments [3][4] Individuals of this species can grow to lengths of 25 cm (9.8 in). They are an ovoviviparous species, in which males brood eggs and give birth to live young.[5]
