The Pygmy Seahorse Hippocampus bargibanti is the master of camouflage. This fish looks really like his host Gorgonian Sea Fan Muricella plectana: the body matches the gorgonian stem, while the tubercles match shape and often color of the polyps. The species occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific in a depth range from 18-40m, as his host usually grows in depths over 20m, max. length 2.4 cm. The camouflage is so effective, the original specimen were discovered only after their host gorgonian had been collected and placed in an aquarium.

$Thorny Seahorse Hippocampus histrix occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from South Africa to French Polynesia, north to Japan and south to Australia, but not in the Red Sea. The stationary species occurs at a depth of 0 to 82m, usually from 15 to 40m, max. length 17cm.\nHippocampus histrix is a rare inhabitant of shallow sheltered reefs, found among clumps of algae or in seagrass beds and associated with sponges and sea-squirts. Large adults are pelagic and probably associated with drifting debris. \nThe species feeds on zooplanktons and small crustaceans. The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail. The use in traditional Chinese medicine is increasing with the rise in patent medicines. So Thorny Seahorse Hippocampus histrix has most recently been assessed for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species in 2017. \nThis specimen was encountered in the Lembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'56.394 N 125°15'15.588 E at 20m depth$
