Pontohi Pygmy Seahorse by martinwoelbert

Pontohi Seahorse | Hippocampus pontohi

"The Pontohi Pygmy Seahorse was first seen in 2003 in Bunaken (by a local guide named Hence Pontoh) and officially described in 2008 – so it is a rather recently discovered species. No wonder, as the Pontohi is not as “easy” to find as other Pygmy Seahorses. While other Pygmies prefer specific hosts (like the hippocampus bargibanti for example likes the muricella seafan), the Pontohi hangs out in between small halimeda algae and hydroids – which means basicly everywhere along walls and rocks ;) So looking for a Hippocampus pontohi means screening more area than just checking specific seafans."  x
