Oh they aren't mine, it's ga aquariums'
 
As Sisserydoo noted, they are weedy (also called common) seadragons (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus), a species that ranges around southern Australia (from the vicinity of Perth, Western Australia, to central New South Wales). Leafy seadragons (Phycodorus eques) are greenish to brown with pale, dark edged lines on the body, and have a narrower distribution (near Perth to about Kangeroo Island, South Australia).

I saw both kinds live for the first time at the Shed aquarium in Chicago last year. My family had to pull me away from the tanks. They're amazing!
