*Syngnathoidei is a suborder, containing sister-families Syngnathidae and Solenostomidae. TP: Diver presence treatment; T1: Flash only treatment; T2: Manipulation without flash treatment; T3: Manipulation including flash treatment. Every individual animal was also observed from >2 m distance as a control (N = 82).
