The smallest known seahorse has been named after the memory of one of our esteemed forumites.....

The creature, to be known as Hippocampus denise, is typically just 16 millimetres long - smaller than most fingernails. Some were found to be just 13 mm long.
Researchers say the animal was mistakenly thought to be a juvenile of another of the 32 known species of seahorses

Shouldn't they be called seaponies?

It doesn't look anything like the ones in the ads in the back of the comic books.
