Masters of Camouflage: Pygmy Seahorses

The Pygmy Seahorse is the chameleon of the ocean. Its tiny body (about the size of a paperclip) is capable of changing color and  forming textured tubercles that allow it to look identical to coral.  This survival tactic might have allowed the Pygmy Seahorse to stay clear of  unwanted attention from predators but it has definitely drawn the interest of scientist.
