Syngnathiformes

Ask pretty much any diver what they would like to see on this dive and if the answer is not a Turtle, it will probably be a Sea Horse. Syngnathiformes is an order of fish that include Pipefish & Seahorses, technically it also includes Trumpetfish, Cornets and others but the ones I find the most interesting are of course Sea Horse and Pipes. We are lucky in Phuket & Thailand to have a host of dive sites where Sea Horses like to turn up, we get regular appearances of Tiger Tails, White, Yellow & Black versions. Sadly we don't get Pygmies here but we do get Ornate, Robust & other rare Pipefish & don't forget the elusive Sea Moth, technically not a Syngathiforme, but sadly not broad enough for it's own category.
