Hippocampus reidi sent on October 14, 2025 (14:21) by Wildsphoto. 3 comments, 74 views. [retina]

In questa immagine, un esemplare di Hippocampus reidi si ancora con la coda prehensile a una spugna. Questa specie, diffusa lungo le coste atlantiche tropicali del Sud America, è nota per la sua straordinaria capacità di cambiare colore in base all'ambiente e allo stato fisiologico. La colorazione può variare dal giallo brillante al marrone scuro, fino a tonalità aranciate o violacee, rendendo ogni individuo unico. Come tutti i cavallucci marini, anche H. reidi presenta una morfologia singolare: il corpo è rivestito da anelli ossei, la bocca tubolare aspira il plancton e piccoli crostacei, e la pinna dorsale è l'unica responsabile del movimento principale. Il maschio possiede una tasca incubatrice nella quale custodisce le uova fecondate fino alla nascita dei piccoli — un raro esempio di “gravidanza maschile” nel regno animale. Specie legata a praterie di fanerogame e formazioni coralline, è considerata vulnerabile a causa della perdita di habitat e della raccolta illegale per il commercio ornamentale. Ogni incontro con un cavalluccio marino è un promemoria del delicato equilibrio che regola la vita nei mari tropicali.
