Courting Thorny Seahorses :D

Saw this pair of Thorny Seahorse - Hippocampus histrix during dives over a few days. During day time, they were not together but still close to each other. Then on a night dive, saw them hanging out together at the base of seafan and they seems to be courting.

Watch the video here, do turn on your sound :D
