Leafy Sea Dragons are threatened by pollution, excessive run-off of fertiliser and loss of sea grass from their habitat. Also since they are such fascinating creatures some diver illegally catch them to put into aquariums. But some times a short time later they die because they weren't fed right.
I think the Leafy Sea Dragon is a very unique and interesting sea dragon. I also like it how they have leaf-like appendages to protect them by using camouflage. If you would like to learn more about the Leafy Sea Dragon, go to http://www.marineparks.wa.gov.au/fun-facts/34-leafy-sea-dragon.html
You should have a look at weedy sea dragons. They're really interesting too! Mr. Cleall reckons that they are even more spectacular than leafy sea dragons because up close their intricate patterns make them look like Aboriginal dot paintings.
