I spent a couple of weeks at Walea Dive Resort in the Togean Islands of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia conducting surveys of gorgonian-associated pygmy seahorses as well as having my first experiences with the amazing and newly named Walea pygmy seahorse (Hippocampus waleananus).

 

I also wrote some information for the resort’s website about the reef and some creatures they habour, which you can read on the resort’s website:

Kyonemichthys rumengani – a newly named a miniature pipehorse
