Miracia Seahorse [Miracia hippocampus]
Description
The Miracia Seahorse (Miracia hippocampus) is a unique marine species primarily found in the warm, tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. They tend to inhabit coral reefs and seagrass beds. A fascinating feature of this species is the male's ability to carry eggs in its brood pouch, a rare occurrence in the animal kingdom. Miracia Seahorses are generally slow swimmers and rely heavily on their ability to camouflage with their surroundings for protection.
