Pygmy seahorse Profile

The Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus bargibanti) is a tiny marine fish known for its vibrant colors, often pink or yellow, designed to blend in with its natural coral habitat. Originating from the Coral Triangle area of Southeast Asia, this species is characterized by its small size, typically measuring no more than 2.4 centimeters in height, and its bulbous tubercles that match the appearance of the gorgonian corals it inhabits. Despite its captivating appearance, the Pygmy Seahorse is not commonly found in the aquarium hobby due to its specific habitat needs and difficulty in care.
