The pygmy Sea horse

Hello people! It's me Nitya Telling you about one of my COOLEST pieces of writing yet! It's about the most TINEIEST sea horse on earth, the pygmy sea horse. Have you seen one before? And was it Orange or purple? Here is my work!

The Pygmy seahorse.

Pygmy seahorses are one of the smallest seahorses on earth. Camouflage is critical to their survival, it’s how they hide from predoters. These seahorses are very fragile, so unless they find a place to camouflage, they will DIE. The Pygmy seahorse spends  all of its adult life  on a type of coral called a sea fan. Orange Pygmy seahorses hide on orange coral and purple Pygmy seahorses hide on purple coral. But here's the question, do they change their colour to match the coral that they find, or do they look for coral that matches their colour? To explore that quistion, scientists went to the Philippines and took a small piece that had a pair of mating pygmy seahorses on it and put them in a tank. Then when the babies were about  to come out, They placed some purple sea fan in the tank with no Pygmy seahorse in it and placed it in the tank as well. When the babies came out and grew a little, they turned purple! So that answers the question, Pygmy seahorses change their colour to match the coral they find!
