Corythoichthys conspicillatus, the reticulate pipefish, is a species of pipefish from the family Syngnathidae.
This species is often confused with Corythoichthys flavofasciatus and the two were considered conspecific by some authorities[1] but it is now widely accepted as a valid species with C. flavofasciatus being restricted to the Red Sea.[2]
Distribution
This species is widespread in the tropical Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea to French Polynesia.[2]
