Classified under the family Pegasidae (named after the Greek mythological creature Pegasus), sea moths are bottom-dwelling fish found from the Red Sea to the central Pacific. This camouflaged fish is characterized by its big pectoral fins that help it glide through the water, a big “snout” for sucking up prey, and strangely formed pelvic fins.

Their large pectoral fins are often spread out, thus they resemble moths. They have a long stiff snout and a bony outer skeleton, like the seahorse. They are collected for the traditional Chinese medicine trade.
