Does anyone know how to sex a draganface pipefish. I was thinking of getting another one and the ones in the lfs were all trying to lay on each other as if holding down showing dominance like I imagine males would.

Hmmm...afraid of that. Have you heard of anyone breeding pipefish?

Jaw fused critters they are. Adults are always located in pairs, though these pairs are not necessarily maintained monogamous.
Males have a pouch-females typically are larger, and more colorful
females compete with each other by developing higher degrees of contrast in coloration, often called ornamentation.

Here's a pic of my fav pair that became a RBTA victims.
