Hide and Seek
Hippocampus bargibanti (Bargibant's seahorse, pygmy seahorse) is a seahorse found in the central Indo-Pacific region. It is known to be found only on gorgonian coral. The body is covered with bulbous tubercles that matches the shape and color of the gorgonian polyps, and the body matches the gorgonian stems. It is difficult to find without the help of a guide because of its tiny size and its ability to blend in with the gorgonian it inhabits.
What Are They?
This was from a few years ago. After a dive we noticed balls of reddish something just below the surface of the water. I grabbed my gear and camera and jumped in. They were balls of #krill!
What is She Looking At?
Wonder what she is looking at. Maybe she spotted the Adventus/Ocean Safari both at the Scuba Show taking place right now at the Long Beach Convention Center. If you are at the show, please drop by Booth 413!
Eye-Catching Color
These pink soft coral are very, very pink... Even among all the colors of the tropical coral reef they are still rather eye-catching.
Master of Camouflage
Here is a master of camouflage. If he had stayed put It would not have been so easy to spot him, but he seemed to get curious at my camera rig. He reared up his tentacles and came out of his hiding spot on the reef.
