message Hi Len,
thanks for the compliment. It is not really difficult to get close to a Seagrass pipefish. The problem is to find them because they look like seagrass. During a night dive when you go with a torch they look a bit different ( more yellow and not so green ). So... it's not magic, need's just some time to get close. And... you need a dive buddy who respect low speed diving. :-))
cheers, Roland
