Pygmy Seahorse

I forgot to mention that we were lucky enough to see some of these on one of the dives.  Tiny pink seahorses that basically look exactly like the pink coral they live in.  Sounds kinda like a fairy tale, doesn't it?

A lot of the dive masters in training haven't even seen them.  Eddie found two little guys in some coral a couple of days ago.  I shrieked with excitement; they had mentioned the pygmy seahorse before and I knew it was special.  The ones we saw were definitely smaller than a centimeter tall.  That's pretty much what it looked like, right here.
