Default Pygmy Seahorse

In my post yesterday in the People section, called, “Mermaid Ascending” (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-...ascending.html) I showed you Barbara while we were SCUBA diving off Malaysian Borneo. This photo is kind of the opposite of that one. The pygmy seahorse shown here is about 6MM long, and quite big for his species. Experienced “macro” divers suggest carrying a magnifying glass to be able to see the normal sized ones. A few days earlier I was never able to see a smaller one, partly due to its size, and partly due to its camouflage. I’ll continue showing you more dive photos, frequently strange and wonderful creatures. Later on, I’ll post some animal photos from the rainforest.
