Description

The Sculptured Seamoth is found on the sea floor, often in sand or in/near seagrass. This little critter is quite well camouflaged and normally buried during the day.

The Sculptured Seamoth is endemic to the Southern parts of Australia, but is quite a rare find, spending a lot of its time in muck & rubble, or buried in the sand.
