‼️ ✨🩵 If you like seahorses, click this post! 🩵✨‼️

For more than 15 months, we’ve documented over 100 different lives of wild Hippocampus reidi seahorses (The Longsnout Seahorse), contributing new observations to scientific research that can help shape their future protection.

Some have been part of our lives for over a year. Many we observed for more than 90 days, 120 days, and a good percentage for more than 180 days. Because of this, we learned a lot along the way, including many of the tips in this post.

They are more than just sightings. They are lives we have a responsibility to protect. We make this post because we genuinely care about what happens to them, but also because we have a current and active database that has gained some global recognition that can help shape the future protection of these beauties.

The science can inform their protection and present updated formal recommendations . But our actions today can help ensure there are still seahorses to study tomorrow.

If you find a seahorse, lead by example. We have so many incredibly talented photographers, guides, and instructors who genuinely care about the future of this place. 🩵🫂

All of the following photos are taken with only natural ☀️ light and no flash. All of mine or @roberto_castaneda10 📷 are taken using an Olympus TG7 with no attachments.

These little larval Jacks can be found in mid water, or hiding out in stinging Hydromedusae and Pyrosomes. MTL burst mode caught a cute little yawn on this fella. - Canon R5 Mark II

$Not sure how this Hydromedusa got the green mantle, but I love the color. Refracting from someone else's Nikon oriented green focus light, perhaps? - Canon R5 Mark II - Canon RF 100 Macro - Nauticam MFO-3 - Marelux MX-R5II housing - Marelux 45° Fine Tune Viewfinder - Marelux Apollo 3, 2.0 strobes - 100mm, ISO 500, f14, 1/200 sec$
