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
