With its tube-like mouth and armor-plated body, a seahorses don't look like a typical fish; however, a seahorse is a bony fish. The seahorse belongs to the family Syngnathidae, which also includes its closest relative, the pipefish In contrast to a pipefish which is long and cylindrical in appearance and swim horizontally, the seahorse has a more compressed body form and swims in a vertical position. With its head bent forward and its dorsal fin undulating behind it, the seahorse propels itself forward. Two fanning pectoral fins located high on either side of its head are used to stabilize the fish. Unlike other fish, the seahorse has a long, prehensile tail that it uses to wrap around plants and corals to rest and stabilize itself.

There are approximately 35 species of seahorses located worldwide from Canada to Tasmania. They mostly inhabit coastal areas containing sea grass beds, mangroves or coral reefs. Because seahorses are poor swimmers they prefer calm areas.

Feeding:

The seahorse leads a simple lifestyle. Most of its time is spent in the anchored position while it simply waits for food. Its food consists of plankton, tiny plants and animals, that are brought to the seahorse by passing currents. As seahorses suck in their food, a snapping sound can be heard during their feeding.

Coloration:

Seahorses are highly variable in color. Their coloring allows enables seahorses to blend into the surroundings for protection from predators.

Size:

All species of seahorses belong to the genus Hippocampus and range in size from the tiny Hippocampus bargibanti at just under 1 inch adult size to the much larger adult Hippocampus ingens at 14 inches.

Status:

Many species are in danger of extinction or soon will be, not because of any natural threats to their populations, but because of the effects of habitat destruction and over-fishing.
