1. Seahorses are prettier in pink 🩷⁣ ⁣ The Pygmy Seahorse is one of the most captivating animals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and lives almost exclusively amongst the vibrant pink branches of Gorgonian corals.⁣ ⁣ This species, the Hippocampus Bargibanti, or Bargibant’s Pygmy Seahorse, is absolutely tiny. A fully grown individual is no larger than the size of a human fingernail.⁣ ⁣ Last year, I was lucky enough to meet several Pygmy Seahorses at a depth of 28m, but this year they appear to have moved to deeper water.⁣ ⁣ This individual was filmed at a depth of 35m, giving us just a couple of minutes with them whilst diving on a nitrox gas mix.⁣ ⁣ It is the almost impossible combination of depth, time constraint, their size, the colours, the camouflage, and even the difficulty to find them through the viewfinder… that make this such a rewarding animal to find, and why experiences like this only further draw me to the ocean 🩷⁣ ⁣ #pygmyseahorse #seahorse #pygmy #pink#bargibantipygmyseahorse #bargibant #uw #ocean #scuba#fish #rareanimal⁣

Eight weeks along today! Carmen is the size of a Pygmy Seahorse. My uterus has more than doubled in size and there’s a definite slight protrusion in my abdomen. Being pregnant is hard at 43, but as a (micro)biologist, I find it pretty fascinating as well. I’m excited to experience all of the changes along the way! #ivfbabygirl #CarmenIsabellaPompa #PygmySeahorse #eightweekspregnant (at Taylorsville, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7eBqmGh-TA/?igshid=duqi0lpxyzrt

Black Pontohi Pygmy seahorse photographed in our houseful by Björn and Henk. The black Pontohi used to be the 'Hippocampus Severnsi' as it was thought to be a different species. The first one described was yellow. But in 2016 it was decided the are both the same. So there are black and yellow Pontohi's. The black ones are more difficult to find though, probably due to their color that blends in better with their surroundings. #lumbalumbadivingmanado #northsulawesi #pygmyseahorse #wonderfullindonesia #housereef #scubadiving #scuba #snorkeling #duiken #tauchen #plongee #dyk #pontohi #critters #underwaterphotography #holiday (at Lumbalumba Diving - Manado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGBbY0sBm2u/?igshid=17up4fgurq09i

A new pygmy seahorse has been discovered off the coast of Japan — and it’s the size of a grain of rice.

The brightly colored Hippocampus japapigu or “Japan pig” was recently identified hiding among algae in southeastern Japan. While the animal’s name may seem a bit odd, the locals insist that the species resembles a tiny pig.

Posted @withrepost • @katherineluphotography BARGIBANTI PYGMY SEAHORSE Seahorses are one of my favorite subjects and I never seem to tire seeing these little guys. Pygmy seahorses are they smallest seahorses in the world measuring only less than 2 cm tall. Unlike other species, the males are the ones that get pregnant and carry the eggs. #seahorse #pygmy #pygmyseahorse #underwatermacro #macrophotography #underwaterphotography #gorgonian #coralreef #seafan #macro #uwart #underwaterworld #marinelife #scubadiving #tropicalreefs #tiny #nikon #nauticam #beuchatdiving #orcatorchD910v #philippines #anilao #scubadiving #muckdiving #ocean #saveoceans https://www.instagram.com/p/B42rTpMCJPM/?igshid=bvkl06hy9cps
