Denise's Seahorse [Hippocampus denise]
Description
Denise’s Seahorse is a small, delicate seahorse that can be surprisingly hard to spot, especially when it matches the color and texture of its surroundings. Divers may notice it clinging to reef structures or seagrass-like habitats, where it sways subtly and uses its curled tail to stay anchored.
