Common name: Seahorse

Hippocampus is the genus encompassing seahorses, known for their unique equine shape and prehensile tails. These captivating creatures are found in shallow tropical and temperate waters around the world. Seahorses are monogamous and exhibit fascinating behaviors such as male pregnancy. They are slow-moving and rely on camouflage, making them vulnerable in the wild but popular in the aquarium trade. In captivity, they require specialized care, including a diet of live or frozen mysid shrimp and a tank with gentle water flow and places to anchor their tails.
