Скачать или смотреть Pygmy Seahorse - Hippocampus bargibanti

Hippocampus bargibanti was the first Pygmy seahorse to be described in the world.
This species of fish were first discovered by accident on a piece of gorgonian coral which was collected by Georges Bargibant for an Aquarium in 1969.
They cling to the coral with their prehensile tail and mimic the colours of the coral so well, they are hard to see.

Bargibant’s pygmy seahorses live between 16-40m deepth and grow to a maximum length ~2.4 cm only.
They take the color of whichever species of gorgonian corals they live on.
Male pygmy seahorses use a pouch in their trunk – not their tail – to brood their young.
Gorgonian corals prefer places with stronger currents which makes the observation of pygmy seahorses often difficult.
