Royalty-Free Underwater Stock Footage of a Yellow Thorny Seahorse (Hippocampus histrix) Close-Up in Seagrass

This underwater video reveals the fascinating feeding behavior of the Yellow Thorny Seahorse, a rare and spiny seahorse species found in seagrass environments. Filmed in intimate cinematic macro detail, the footage shows the seahorse using its tubular mouth to suction-feed on passing plankton and small crustaceans. Its spiny body, textured skin, and distinctive yellow coloration stand out against the lush seagrass backdrop, highlighting the unique morphology of this species.

Hippocampus histrix typically anchors itself to seagrass blades with its prehensile tail to maintain stability in currents while hunting. This close-up footage captures natural behavior such as subtle body swaying, tail grasping, and precise head movements as the seahorse tracks prey. The macro perspective emphasizes the intricate feeding motion, showcasing the suction mechanics seahorses use to consume tiny organisms.

Perfect for nature documentaries, marine-life films, educational content, scientific presentations, broadcast productions, and commercial projects, this high-quality underwater stock footage delivers exceptional macro clarity, smooth motion, and natural underwater lighting. It is ideal for projects focused on seahorse behavior, seagrass ecosystems, biodiversity, feeding strategies, and marine conservation.
