Short Headed Seahorse

I think this is a Short Headed Seahorse (Hippocampus breviceps), if anyone knows for sure please let me know in the comments. The image was taken under Edithburgh Jetty on the October long weekend. The seahorses use their tail to cling to the weed under and around the jetty, feeding on the zooplankton that drifts by.
