The Story:  During a night dive at around midnight with a full moon, I found this pair of sea horses belonging to two different species, one hyppocampus camuso and other, hyppocampus guttulatus ,who swam in the shallow holding each other by the tail. The photographed scene was something majestic, a magic only enhanced by the beauty of the site and the evening's full moon.

Location:  Ionian Sea, Italy

Camera:  Nikon D700 and Nikon 60mm Macro Lens (F22, 1/1320, ISO 100)  with Nauticam Housing and Inon Z240 Strobe..
