This species usually drifts in open water with rafts of sargassum weed, but strong winds had blown this indidivual into a shallow water, the sargassum weed washing up in the beach.

This species of pygmy seahorse commonly occurs in two colour varieties, pink and yellow. The colour is determined by the colour of the host seafan. This image is highly unusual because it shows a yellow variety in a pink seafan, where its camouflage is not as effective. This individual had migrated from a nearby yellow seafan. Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Lembeh Strait, Molucca Sea.

Its hairy appearance resembles an alage covered stone, giving this ambush predator a valuable advantage. Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Lembeh Strait, Molucca Sea.
