They’re very hard to spot because:<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n-they blend in with the coral<\/span>
\n
<\/span>– and they’re small<\/span>
\n
<\/span>They are as small as your fingernail. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nSo you swim by, never seeing the little gems that clutch the coral…<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThey are Pygmy seahorses!<\/span><\/p>\n

How many times did I miss them in my dives around Bonaire and Tahiti?  Could there have been dozens of Pygmy seahorses, all watching me?<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nLet’s look at what I might have seen if I had looked closely:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\nThey look more like little candies than real seahorses!<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nNow let’s have a bit of I Spy fun!  How hard is it to spot the Pygmy seahorses in the photos below?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWoohoo, that last one is a doozy to see!  Did you spot him?<\/span>
<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nAnd here’s the newest Pygmy seahorse discovered…so new, it’s not even named yet.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>
\nI like the little star shapes all over him.  I would name him the Star seahorse…what would you name him?<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nAnd here is a two-minute Nat Geo video of these seahorses; each the size of a grain of rice…or the top part of this exclamation point!<\/span>
