Bargibant's Pygmy Seahorse

Hippocampus bargibanti

A pair of Bargibant’s Pygmy Seahorses, each no bigger than a fingernail, cling to a red Muricella sea fan, their knobbled pink bodies echoing its polyps exactly.

Based at the foot of a wall in 25m darkness, I lifted the background light just enough to frame them against the red tangle of the fan they share.
