Phycoduridae
Phycoduridae is a proposed family of marine gastropod molluscs. This group is notable for its association with the genus Phycodurus, which includes the leafy sea dragon (Phycodurus eques) and the weedy sea dragon (Phycodurus sp.). These animals are known for their elaborate leaf-like appendages, which serve as camouflage.
The taxonomic classification of Phycoduridae has been a subject of discussion. Traditionally, seadragons, including those in
Phycoduridae, if recognized as a distinct family, would represent a specialized lineage within the broader syngnathiform
