Tiny seahorse hanging in the filamentous green algae, with surge making the shot difficult. This was the best of a bad bunch. I'm sure Hinako's is better than this.

Managed to get this one to face me. Maybe it hasn't been found by the strobe blasters yet.

This is "Dawn", the World's oldest recorded seahorse (living in the wild). She’s a White’s Seahorse (Hippocampus whitei) and lives in Nelson Bay.
She is part of the Seahorse study by Dave Harasti. The three red tags on her port side, are used to identify and track individual seahorses. She was first tagged on 3rd August 2014.
Seen here on 30th March 2020 enjoying the balcony view from her new "seahorse hotel", recently provided as part of new study to see if artificial structures can provide suitable holdfasts for the seahorses, after the rapid loss of the cauliflower soft coral (Dendronephthya australis) habitats.
