Pygmy Seahorses.
There are seven different species of seahorses in the world. Pygmy seahorses are 2cm in size being one of the smallest types. Their scientific name is Hippocampus bargibanti. They can be found in the Indio-west pacific ocean.
Pygmy seahorses are very good at camouflage. They live in sea fan coral which comes in the colours orange and purple so they can camouflage and hide.
The baby pygmy seahorse starts brown and comes from the fathers broad pouch. The baby pygmy sea horse is very different to the adult pygmy sea horse. The female and male do the cortship dance to have a baby.
Pygmy sea horses eat tiny crustaceans and they are tiny things in the ocean like lobsters,Barnacles. There predators are big fish and sharks an also more.
The coral reef is getting destroyed by fishing nets,temperture,acidfication and more. This is so important because not all but some pygmy sea horses live there and some are actually dying.
