Description
(Hippocampus denise) The pygmy seahorse is undoubtedly one of the most well camouflaged species in the oceans, being very difficult to spot amongst the gorgonian coral it lives in. The camouflage is so effective that the species wasn't actually discovered until its host gorgonian was being examined in a lab. Large, bulbous tubercles cover this species' body and match the color and shape of the polyps of its host species of gorgonian coral, while its body matches the gorgonian stem. up to 2 cm heightRelated content
