Out of order somehow.
The weird shaped one with the trumpety white flower is an Angraecum distichum, about half an inch across.
The dark purple orchid with the dangling leaves and babboon-face-shaped flowers is a Lepanthes Gargoyla, leaves one inch across at the widest point.
The two orchids stuck together with the yellow flower are Haraella odonata, the flower is half an inch tall.
The plant in the first pic with the striped flower is a Dendrobium lichenastrum, and its leaves are about an inch long, at most.
And last but not least, the cluster with the greenish pronged blooms that you have to look closely for is Bulbophyllum alagense large form, and its leaves are about three fourths of an inch tall, not counting the bulbs.
This is a Ceratostylis pleurothallis, the smallest orchid I own, in bloom. That flower is about a quarter of an inch wide, and the plant is full-sized.
The lined seahorse fry are growing so fast! They are starting to look and act more like proper seahorses.

The Mount d’Ambre leaf chameleon is a diminutive chameleon from far northern Madagascar. This species inhabits rainforest and during the day it is active in the leaf litter or on small branches a few centimetres above the ground. At
night it can be found roosting on branches approximately 5 – 15 cm above
the ground. It is considered ’Vulnerable’ by the IUCN red list.photo credits: ovguide
Numbats are an Australian marsupial found in the continents west. They primarily eat termites, and as such need a well adapted tongue to do so. The Numbat needs to keep its tongue well coated in a sticky saliva, allowing them to catch up to 20,000 termites in a day.
