One $1.50 self-adhesive stamp from the Marine Emblems stamp issue.

Australia’s states and territories have been given various official emblems, including floral, bird, animal and marine. This issue features the marine emblems of three states. The Leafy Seadragon (Phycodurus eques) was adopted as South Australia’s marine emblem in 2001. Around 24 centimetres in length, this ethereal-looking fish is hard to spot, as it is camouflaged by the long, seaweed-like protrusions growing on its body. Leafy Seadragons can be found along Australia’s southern and western coasts. In 1998, New South Wales was the first state to proclaim a marine emblem, the Eastern Blue Groper (Achoerodus viridis). A species of wrasse, this inquisitive fish grows to a metre in length and inhabits rocky reefs, river estuaries and seagrass beds from southern Queensland to southern Victoria. The Barrier Reef Anemonefish (Amphiprion akindynos) was officially named as Queensland’s aquatic emblem in 2005. It lives among sea anemones in the northern region of the Great Barrier Reef. The stinging tentacles of the host protects it from predators and in return, the fish provides certain benefits to the anemone. This anemonefish species reaches around 12 centimetres in length and is distinguished by its orange colour, white tail, and two white bars across the head and body.
