5 New Species Of Pgymy Seahorse (Possibly 6!)

by Chris on February 8, 2009

National Geographic have just published some stunning images of five new species of Pgymy Seahorse that have been found as far apart as Indonesia and the Red Sea - but they don't include Muhani's Seahorse

Following on nicely from my previous post, National Geographic have published these amazing images of newly discovered seahorses - but they don't include Muhani's Seahorse, as photographed by David and Debi Henshaw and named after Indo dive guide Iwan Muhani. (Although a couple of the new seahorses in the Nat Geo piece look similar, so perhaps it's been named twice over... I'll leave that to the scientists to figure out).

There is also this spectacular pgymy seahorse video from National Geographic's channel on YouTube:
