Thorny Seahorse - Juvenile

Spotted this tiny specimen towards the end of a dive while doing my safety stop. Saw a few floating sea grass blades/debris floating around and this one caught my attention! The width of the seagrass blade is less than 1 cm. This tiny beauty is 5 cm in length but very difficult to get a good picture of as it was floating near the surface.

Spines protrude from head and body ridges, elongate snout usually with a few white bars; variable shades of red, brown, yellow or green, often with gold speckling.
