Etymology: Hippocampus: Greek, ippos = horse + Greek,kampe = curvature (Ref. 45335); paradoxus: Name from Latin 'paradoxus' meaning strange and contrary to expectation; referring to the unusual morphology relative to all other seahorses.

The holotype was collected from mid-continental shelf benthos (102 m); at this depth, high energy waves sweep the bed of the Great Australian Bight, producing expanses of rippled sand interspersed with sponge and bryozoans stabilised 'islands'. The site has a complex, highly diversed assemblage of bryozoans, including Adeona, a number of bushy flexible species (Family Catenicellidae), 'lace corals' (Fam. Phidoloporidae) and some sponges, on coarse substrate of calcareous sand. The female holotype collected in late July had a greatly distended abdomen holding eleven hydrated oocytes approximately 2 mm in diameter (Ref. 85152).
