Choeroichthys smithi (shortfin pipefish, or Smith's short-bodied pipefish) is a species of marine fish of the family Syngnathidae. It is found in the western Indian Ocean along the coasts of Reunion, Mauritius, the Seychelles, Madagascar, Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa.[1] It is a demersal species, inhabiting tide pools and reef flats in coastal waters where it can grow to lengths of 5 cm.[2] This species is ovoviviparous, with males carrying the eggs and giving birth to live young.[2] The specific name honours the South African ichthyologist J.L.B. Smith (1897-1968) who collected the material which was used as the holotype by Dawson when he described the species.[3]
