Here they are, FINALLY!!
The Addison as Seahorses.
Rendering was out of the question, went to basic shading instead.

A male Bargibant’s seahorse grips tightly with his prehensile tail to a pink sea fan, looking almost ready to pop. He will gestate for a period of approximately two weeks before giving birth.

1. Seahorses are prettier in pink 🩷
The Pygmy Seahorse is one of the most captivating animals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, and lives almost exclusively amongst the vibrant pink branches of Gorgonian corals.
This species, the Hippocampus Bargibanti, or Bargibant’s Pygmy Seahorse, is absolutely tiny. A fully grown individual is no larger than the size of a human fingernail.
Last year, I was lucky enough to meet several Pygmy Seahorses at a depth of 28m, but this year they appear to have moved to deeper water.
This individual was filmed at a depth of 35m, giving us just a couple of minutes with them whilst diving on a nitrox gas mix.
It is the almost impossible combination of depth, time constraint, their size, the colours, the camouflage, and even the difficulty to find them through the viewfinder… that make this such a rewarding animal to find, and why experiences like this only further draw me to the ocean 🩷
