Oh my gosh, there are some amazing photos in this thread! All the pipefish are incredible, as is the variety of color in the seahorses.
Here are three of the same seahorse from April. I couldn't figure out a good angle on him, but always have fun trying.
I'll spare you from my pictures of a seahorse in Curacao ... it took me awhile to realize it was dead!

From last week.

That's not a pipefish you found there, that there is a pygmy pipehorse! I believe you are looking at Acentronura dendritica. Thought to be somewhat common but rarely noticed because of their camouflage and because of the frequent mis-identification of syngnathids. This is the first time I've seen a picture anywhere but books. Here is some additional info: First record of the pipefish Acentronura (Amphelikturus) dendritica (Syngnathidae) from the Caribbean | Mendeley
(If you're wondering who I am and where I dropped in from - I'm a seahorse and pipefish enthusiast and have a google alert set up to notify me when there are new posts and pages containing those words. I'm not a diver (yet) though I did do a discover dive last August.)
Anyway great job of capturing such an infrequently seen critter.
