Koloa Landing was great last week! I had the opportunity to dive with Julie, Katie, and Shawn of Aquatic Adventures while on the island. What a Great company to dive with. I highly recommend them when you visit Kauai. The highlight for me was seeing the seahorse (1st time), which Julie was able to find clinging to the coral. I only saw it once while there, but that was enough to capture a memory of a life time. Thanks to everyone at Aquatic Adventures for a great week of diving.

That seahorse is cool! The Waikiki Aquarium got a few of their seahorses from inside the Ala Wai Canal. The bums pick them up and sell them to the local pet stores, but they have problems with disease when you put them in a tank. I've seen the same species in Kaneohe Bay.

We have two species of seahorses here; Hippocampus kuda and Hippocampus fischeri. The one DMJulie found is a H. kuda. Hippocampus histrix was supposedly found a long time ago, but it is suspected that the specimen was probably a misidentified H. fischeri.
