It grows to a length of {{convert|9.2|cm|in}} SL. This species is the only known member of its genus.[2] Like other pipefish it is ovoviviparous but it may breed seasonally, as gravid males have been collected between September and November.[1] EtymologyThis genus was named in honor of Earl Stannard Herald, an American expert on syngnathids who died as a result of a diving accident off of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.[3] The common name, "upside-down pipefish", comes from its habit of swimming upside down in caves before emerging at night to feed,[1] and this nocturnal habit gives rise to its specific name, nocturna.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{cite journal | author1 = Jamieson, O. | author2 = Pollom, R. | last-author-amp = yes | year = 2016 | title = Heraldia nocturna (errata version published in 2017) | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2016 | page = e.T65368085A115424228 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T65368085A67624180.en }} 2. ^{{FishBase |genus= Heraldia|species= nocturna| month = February = 2018}} 3. ^{{cite journal | url = http://biostor.org/reference/59580 | title = Heraldia nocturna, a new genus and species of pipefish (family Syngnathidae) from eastern Australia with comments on Maroubra perserrata Whitley | journal = Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences | volume = 40 | pages = 439–447 | year = 1975 | author = J.R.
