Name her! She's cleaning up really well, still has a way to go but is an avid hunter and shrimp killing ninja. #seahorse #seaponies #mylittlepony #hippocampushilonis #hippocampuskuda #reeftank (at Oahu, Hawai'i) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-fdg1wHW_U/?igshid=twxehppzlgfq

Name her! I found this cutie today in a dredge zone, she needs a name! Suggestions below! The fuzzy stuff will slough off of her and she should have adorable cirri when she's cleaned up (cirri are the soft spiny appendages). #cirri #hippocampushilonis #hippocampuskuda #hippocampus #seahorse #hawaiianseahorse #merman #oceanconservation #familiar #halimeda #macroalgae #reeftank https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NwCD4Hake/?igshid=1s9g7v6xolptc

Seahorses are a great study in texture. Overhauling my seahorse setup so I can be ready for babies! This female was collected from the dredge site hopefully she cleans up pretty! #seahorse #fishrearing #aquaculture #marinebiology #hawaii #hippocampushilonis #hippocampuskuda #seahorses #seaponies #marinelife #merman (at Oahu, Hawai'i) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IjLacHKB7/?igshid=1bl64t5l9zlon

Kaiuli is a native Hawaiian seahorse. She is a continuation of my research on seahorses, this pretty girl was photographed by @manini722 just after her rescue. if you look closely you can see patches of algae on her skin. Some of my work leads me to believe that algae and bacteria coatings actually help prevent seahorses from getting harmful infections. #hippocampuskuda #hippocampushilonis #seahorse #hawaii #marinebiology #seahorsesanctuary #marinebiologist Photo edited by @manini722 and @_photobird_ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0dVIbtnhW2/?igshid=cdoduhw0mxoz
