The Walea pygmy seahorse is one of five species named in a flurry of recent seahorse discoveries from coral reefs in the Red Sea and Indonesia. All five are less than an inch tall (2.5 centimeters) and are among the tiniest known vertebrates.

Those pictures are so cool. Would any of those new species be found off the Indonesian side of New Guinea?

What program did you use to get the water to ripple like that?
