  Yes, and they can even change their colours to adapt to the colours of their host sea fan.
  A study has been conducted, for example, a purple coloured Pygmy Seahorse was removed from its purple coloured sea fan and transferred to a yellow/orange sea fan, and the Pygmy Seahorse changed its colours eventually to adapt to the colours of its new host! Posted 5 years ago

  They are not too difficult to find once you know they are in the host sea fan. Posted 5 years ago
