These pygmy seahorses are so good at changing colors for camouflage

*

Pygmy seahorses are super tiny creatures that have the awesome ability to camouflage. They attach themselves to colorful corals and blend in so seamlessly that I have a hard time picking them out. What's cool is that even if the pygmy seahorses are descendants of orange seahorses, they can adapt and become purple if that's the only coral nearby.

Also cool: how they shoot out their spawn babies.
