Hippocampus barbouri

Barbour's seahorse is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCNhttps://www.iucnredlist.org/species/40802/54906903. Interestingly the credits for the species are given to two- Jordan & Richardson in 1908. The common name is also interesting as it's for a herpetologist, Thomas Barbourhttps://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/102811-Hippocampus-barbouri. They appear to like having a striped snout, and German's named them appropriately- zebra nosed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF-bbFhgvWI But I think English-speakers should catch on and name them seazebras. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/PfdccmPaq0Q They live in the oceans of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Phillipineshttps://fishbase.se/summary/Hippocampus-barbouri.html.
They do not migrate and live amongst even stinging corals. They can be sold as aquarium pets. They are used in Chinese Traditional Medicine. Largest size is 15cm.
