cape seahorse
The Knysna seahorse or Cape seahorse (''Hippocampus capensis'') is a species of fish in the family Syngnathidae. It is endemic to the south coast of South Africa, where it has been found in only three brackish water habitats: the estuary of the Keurbooms River in Plettenberg Bay, the Knysna Lagoon, and the estuarine portion of the Swartvlei system in Sedgefield. The limited range of this seahorse puts it at great risk of extinction.〔Czembor, C. A. & E. M. Bell. 2012. (''Hippocampus capensis''. ) In: IUCN 2012. IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Version 2012.2. Downloaded on 27 May 2013.〕
==Description==
The Knysna seahorse is a small, delicate creature with a standard length of up to 12 centimeters. Colouration is strongly influenced by the surrounding environment and a particular individual's mood. It varies from pale green to brown (often with darker speckles) to purplish black. The body is encased in a series of bony rings, the snout is relatively short, and the neck arches in a smooth curve without a crown. The tail is muscular and is used to grasp a mate during courtship or to anchor the fish to the substrate.〔''(Hippocampus capensis )'' FishBase. Retrieved 2011-08-27.〕
