Have you seen a real pygmy seahorse before?
Pygmy seahorses are one of the smallest seahorses in the world and they are 2 cm tall.
They are so fragile the need to hide in Coral .Its critical to their survival. Orange seahorses live in orange sea fan . Purple seahorses live in purple sea fan.
But the question is do they find coral to match their colour or do they change their color to match the coral?
Some scientists caught a orange mating pair off pygmy seahorses and for the first time they survived they watched the mating pair of seahorses doing their daily courtship dance and the babies coming out of their fathers brood pouch. At first they were a dull brown color.
The scientists thought if they put a purple sea fan with the babies
and they got their answer the baby seahorses turned purple and tubercles which is bumps to match the coral.
