Description

Keeping with this week theme of Seahorse photos here is a very dirty little Common Seahorse (Hippocampus Kuda), why is he dirty, well just look at him, obviously has not had a bath or shave in a while.

Usually you don’t get Seahorses covered in hair or algae like this one, I would say this is a local adaption to the algae strewn sand that makes up much of your Kata Beach diving. There is not much to hold onto and less in the way of things to camouflage against, so many of the Seahorse we find out there have developed thin layers of what looks like hair.

Guess that makes this Seahorse a bit of a ginger as his algae hair is a very red colour, which of course under the water is perfect as it blends in with everything as it’s the first color to disappear, so he most looks very dark and gray until you shine some light onto him.

This one is also just a baby, I’d say no more than 2 or 3cm high, we stumble upon him now quite regularly as he has found a home on the sand between two of our favourite spots, if you know the area keep an eye our for him as he is usually between the anchor and first 4 set of cubes, or sometimes just slightly South of the first 4 Set of cubes.

    Ambon Scorpion Fish – An Unexpected Find In Phuket

    If there is a fish you don't expect to see while diving in the crystal clear waters of Phuket Thailand it must be the Ambon Scorpion Fish.

    Mimic Octopi Kata Beach 2023

    It is officially Kata Beach diving season for 2023. If you like long surface swims and even longer searches for macro critters than Kata Beach diving is for you! I say the above because even though we find many Mimics at Kata Beach, it is never just "oh there they are". It does take time and dedi [...]

    Orange Banded Sting Fish

    Ever heard of a Sting Fish before? To be honest before I found this one, I'd only really ever heard the name mentioned once or twice in my travels and they don't appear in most of your fish ID books either, trust me I looked :) So what the hell makes a Sting Fish interesting enough to be shown he [...]

    Big Ol Giant Frog Fish, Or Is it?

    I've been trying hard of late to stop uploading & or taking photos of Frog Fish, but it seems to be a bit of an addiction, just can't stop myself. Anyway, here is another lovely specimen from the Philippines, Pescador Island, Moal Boal. This one I think, or at least to the best of my knowledge is a [...]
