White-Spotted Jellyfish (Phyllorhiza Punctata)

Each jellyfish can filter as much as 13,200 gallons of sea water per day. While doing that, it ingests the plankton that native species need. As an invasive species, it has become a threat to several species of shrimp.

Denise’s Pygmy Seahorse (Hippocampus denise)

The pygmy seahorse is undoubtedly one of the most well camouflaged species in the oceans, being very difficult to spot amongst the gorgonian coral it lives in. The camouflage is so effective that the species wasn’t actually discovered until its host gorgonian was being examined in a lab.

Ghost Pipefish (Solenostomus paradoxus)

The Ghost pipefish is one of those sea creatures that divers simply love , mainly due to the fact that these tiny creatures are so difficult to spot, blending in so well with their surroundings, that often the only way to see ghost pipefish is to dive with an experienced dive master who knows where they live on the reef.
