Mistletoe for Sea Dragons

I wonder if this is an April Fool story that is four months early (or eight months late)?
I didn't know that Weymouth had leafy sea dragons, and as I'm fond of syngnathids, I'll have to plan a visit.

What a brilliant idea. I always thought Mistletoe was poisonous though :S Maybe not to Leafy Sea Dragons? XD

It is indeed poisonous, but the dragons are fighting it not eating it. I suspect that the toxins are not water soluble.
Or...the Aquarium has made a terrible terrible mistake.
 
The photo in the article is not very large, but it looks rather like plastic mistletoe to me.
