Newly discovered creature is called . Japanese pig (Japan pig) . That's all, it is actually a new dwarf seahorse, observed by divers in the South and East Japan seas.

In addition, besides the small size, the color of H. japapigu still makes the world admire."Very special" - quoted Kevin Conway, an expert from the University of Texas. "Like a seahorse drawing flowers on him".

It is known that this Japanese pig species was found when research experts conducted a survey of the sea about 287km from Tokyo. They found them at a depth of about 5m - 22m, in areas with strong coral and algae growth.
