Tiny seahorse spotted in underwater Google Street View

 "As Street View takes the plunge underwater, you will not see a man with a horse's head but you might be able to spot this tiny Denise's pygmy seahorse, Hippocampus denise. The species was confirmed in Australian waters for the first time during the underwater Catlin Seaview Survey, which is mapping the world's reefs to create a watery Google Street View. The seahorse was found at the Great Barrier Reef, off Heron Island, at a depth of 92 metres."
