Say hello to my new tiny little friend, Hippocampus Severnsi, or commonly called Severn’s Pygmy Seahorse.
I first met him while diving at 16m depth in Tanjung Mandolang in Manado.
It was hiding at one of the sea fans and my dive guide was pointing it to me with his fingers but I can’t see it. So I went nearer and nearer and I thought, where the heck is this little pygmy?
And there it was, less than 1cm in size.
