Leafy Seadragon Courtship.

While diving at Rapid Bay (south Australia)some time back I witnessed this courtship and was hoping to witness the egg exchange.. It appeared at the time to be about to happen. I was watching for near 4 hours(2 dives). I have reduced the footage here down to 2 minutes. The amorous couple continued like this for the entire time...the only break was the smaller male stopped to suck in a shrimp. I believe the male was too young for the gravid female. The female was more than interested ...maybe it happened later in the evening but i will never know. Music by Hand Dixit: Dreams of River Ganga. Sourced from U tube free music.
