🌊✨ Unveiling the Tiny Wonders: Pygmy Seahorses of Romblon!
Dive into the enchanting world of pygmy seahorses, hidden masters of camouflage thriving in Romblon’s untouched reefs. These miniature fish cling to algae, corals and sea fans, showcasing nature’s artistry in diverse dive sites. Meet the 6 stunning types (from left to right, top to bottom):
• Dark Hippocampus pontohi (dark color) previously knowns as Hippocampus severnsi – photographed by Wolfgang Holz. Once called Seversi Pygmy Seahorse, this darker shade adds mystery.
• Hippocampus denise 'Santa Claus', Santa Claus Pygmy Seahorse: photographed by Oksana Maksymova, with its festive white speckles. Favorite for Macro Photographer’s Christmas cards.
• Yellow Hippocampus bargibanti, Yellow Bargibanti - snapped by Michael Eisenbart, glowing in golden hues. We found this beautiful color variation just recently.
• Hippocampus denise, Denise Pygmy Seahorse - Captured by Gerald Fischer, a classic beauty blending seamlessly to their habitats. They come in pink, peach, orange, white and yellow shades.
• Hippocampus pontohi (light color), Pontoh's Pygmy Seahorse – captured by Alan Coppel. A bright variant of this elusive species.
• Pink Hippocampus bargibanti, Pink Bargibanti – Photo was taken by Andrey Savin. A delicate pink gem hiding in plain sight.

🌴 Found in Romblon’s rich coral ecosystems, these tiny treasures (some as small as 1.5 cm!) thrive in unspoiled waters. Have you spotted all 6 in their natural habitats? Share your photos and tag us! 💦

A pygmy squid eating a shrimp. 📷 captured by during a night dive at Cabilao Island, Philippines.

Difficult to find and even more to photograph, especially when you're thinking "what is that????"
