pygmy seahorse

(I thought this looked like the Covid virus)

This pygmy seahorse is among the smallest seahorses on our planet, measuring less than an inch tall. Spotting these tiny seahorses is very challenging. Its scientific name is Hippocampus pontohi, and it was named in 2008—not so long ago! Photographer Nadia Aly took this picture in Lemebeh, Indonesia, using a Canon 5DM3 with a 100mm lens.
