Moluccen Seahorse (Hippocampus moluccensis)
Flame shell, when disturbed they can swim using jets of water expelled by 'clapping' its shells together and a rowing motion of its tentacles. (Limaria hians)
Sometimes you meet the most unusual subject in a place you expect the least. This subject was right under the jetty in Kapalai behind steps and most incredibly, spotted at the end of a very long night dive ! Very rewarding ! smile
Hippocampus bargibanti: The most common variation is the red one. The yellow variation is more difficult to find, but did you know that there is an orange variation too :-)
