Royalty-Free Underwater Stock Footage of a White Thorny Seahorse (Hippocampus histrix) feeding, captured from an intimate, cinematic macro perspective.

This underwater video reveals the fascinating feeding behavior of the White Thorny Seahorse, a rare and spiny seahorse species found in coral reef environments. Filmed in close-up 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 white coloration make it stand out against the coral and reef backdrop, highlighting the unique morphology of this species.

Hippocampus histrix typically anchors itself to coral branches or sea fans with its prehensile tail to maintain stability in currents while hunting. This 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 in their environment.

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, coral reef ecosystems, biodiversity, feeding strategies, and marine conservation.
