Pontoh's pygmy seahorse is one of the ocean's tiniest seahorses, blending into seagrass and coral rubble across shallow Indo-Pacific reefs. Its diminutive size and cryptic colouration make it a patient find for divers willing to scan the substrate carefully. These miniature seahorses anchor themselves with their prehensile tails and feed on tiny crustaceans drifting past in the current.
