Help me find Colmani and/or Pontohi pygmy seahorse

[Polpessa]

Hello everyone,

Do you have any advice on how to find Pontohi or Colmani seahorses? Specifically I'd like to know what environment it is found on.
I'm in Papua.
Depth reccomendations as well as photos where what the seahorse is holding onto is clearly visible welcome! If you have the scientific name of what the seahorse lives in/ holds onto even better.
Thank you very much!

I googled and found this. Hippocampus sp. (Pontohi), Weedy Pygmy Seahorse, Cavalluccio pigmeo. Hope this helps ..

Thanks, Wahlaoa!
the pictures are great on the site but it's not really clear what exactly the Pontohi are hanging on since the pics are such extreme close-ups.
I wrote to the guy whose site it is so hopefully he will have some more specific answers.

In the meantime, anyone else out there know anything? Thanks in advance...
