Can You Find Me?

To spot them are still a big problem for many diver. Don't be sad! Don't upset! By the moment we know where they are hiding. Just come here....Let's us guide u for this super macro stuff.


Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti)

Pygmy seahorse seem to live exclusively on soft coral colonies in deep water (around 20 meter +) and in current-swept areas. It small size and extremely cryptic body shape, coloration and skin texture make it hard to spot. Full range of distribution is still under dispute: reliable sources have recorded it in the vicinity of Mabul and Kapalai.

Dwarf Pipehorse (Acentronura tentaculata)

An exceptionally well camouflaged little species which looks like a cross between a seahorse and a pipefish proper. A stationary bottom dweller, not uncommon but exceedingly difficult to locate due to its cryptic habits (it stays anchored to small sea grasses by it tail, swaying in the current) and its hairy appendages, which make it look like rotting vegetation.
