Bargibant's Seahorse [Hippocampus bargibanti]
Description
Bargibant’s Seahorse is famous for its incredible camouflage, often blending into soft corals like a tiny living ornament. Divers who slow down and scan carefully may find it perched on coral branches, where it remains remarkably still until a curious current or passing diver draws attention.
