It is found off of the coast of Lord Howe Island, Australia, although unconfirmed occurrences have been reported from Milne Bay and the Ryukyu Islands.[1] It lives in coarse sand and Zostera and Halophila sea grasses at depths around {{convert|5|m|ft}}.[2][1] It is expected to feed on small crustaceans, similar to other seahorses. Ovoviviparous reproduction is also expected, with males brooding eggs in a pouch before giving birth to live young.[1] IdentificationIndividuals of this species are tiny, growing to a maximum recorded length of {{convert|2.7|cm|in}}.[2] They have small heads, short snouts, thick trunks, and low coronets. Algae that are found on seagrass blades attach to their skins, acting as a form of camouflage.[1] Colouration is generally pale whitish to yellowish, with white circular or elliptical markings outlined with narrow red lines on the trunk, dusky brown bands radiating from the eye, brownish-red appendages, and a slightly brownish tail with red markings.[3] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite journal | author1 =Ouyang, L. | author2 = Pollom, R. | last-author-amp = yes | year = 2017 | title = Hippocampus colemani | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2017 | page = e.T47728602A47736420 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2017-3.RLTS.T47728602A47736420.en }} 2. ^1 Eschmeyer, W.N.
