Etymology: Hippocampus: Greek, ippos = horse + Greek,kampe = curvature (Ref. 45335);  montebelloensis: Named in reference to the Monte Bello Islands, its type locality..

Issue
Kuiter described the species (2001) and endorsed it subsequently (2009) separating it from Hippocampus zebra Whitley, 1964, while Lourie (in two publications in 2016) synonymized it with the latter species. We chose to assign an uncertain status because probably it is a case of sibling species (Kuiter) while we recognized a lack of clear evidence (Lourie) to separate them. Genetic studies have to be performed to take a documented decision.

Biologie     Verklarende woordenlijst (bv. epibenthic)

Found on the continental shelf (Ref. 75154). Holotype caught at the surface, clinging to Sargassum fragment (Ref. 42735). Maximum length is based on a straight-line length measurement from upper surface (ignoring spines) of first trunk ring, to tip of tail (Ref. 42735). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205).
