Hippocampus hippocampus

The short-snouted seahorse is a species of seahorse endemic to Italy and the Canary Islands. In 2018 it was reported to be breeding at the Thames River around the same time a law protecting the species was passedhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/7333980.stmhttps://projectseahorse.org/hippocampus-hippocampus-the-short-snouted-seahorse-in-the-uk/. It's very likely that someone released captive specimens here to better preserve the species. Due to this reason it isn't considered invasive, although normally it would be. This species was identified by Carl Linnaeus himself in 1758. However, perhaps it was not called the short-snouted seahorse at this time.
