Syngnathoidei is a large, diverse suborder of Syngnathiformes fish. It contains the "long-snouted" members of the order, and its monophyly has been affirmed by phylogenetic studies. The order contains pipefish, , trumpetfish, cornetfish, shrimpfish, and Macroramphosus. Abstract. They are found in tropical, subtropical and temperate seas, especially in coastal waters around rock and coral reefs and among sea weed and sea grass beds. However, there are also pelagic species of pipefish and even freshwater species.
This appears to be an ancient suborder, with fossil remains known as early as the Late Cretaceous period.
