Hippocampus reidi

The longsnout seahorse is also known as the slender seahorse or Brazilian seahorse. There scientific name was given to honor Mr Earl D. Reid of the Division of Fishes at the U.S. National Museumhttps://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/39917670#page/623/mode/1up. It's said that the species was founded by Ginsburg, 1933, but the details of that and the original name he gave it are unknown to me. It lives in various areas of the Atlantic Ocean from Bermuda, the south eastern coast of North America to the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, southern Mexico, north eastern South America, and Brazil. They are listed as Near Threatened as of 2016. https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/10082/17025021 They are one of the most popular species of seahorses to keep as pets.https://reefapp.net/en/encyclopedia/hippocampus-reidihttps://www.thesprucepets.com/seahorse-species-profiles-2925484 This species may or may not be related to a Yokai Watch character, as the name might be translated in Japanese as "nagabana tatsu" (long snout) and this character, while not greatly resembling a seahorse, does contain elements thereof, including being associated with water.https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/discover-fish/species-profiles/hippocampus-reidi/https://yokaiwatch.fandom.com/wiki/Babblong
