They can only grow up to one foot tall, about 1-12 inches long.
They live around the coral reef and they hide in some fan coral. They also hide in the sea grasses that look like a forest. (Did you know that some people made a sea horse hotel in Bali!)
Do you know how they hug and hang on? Their tails tangle together. (I know because I used to have 2 pet sea horses but they died.) They eat plankton, seaweed and baby shrimp. (Do not ever forget to feed your seahorses!) Each sea horse has a different shaped crown. The fins are like a tiny dragon’s on their back. They don’t swim like a fish! They move like a gentleman walking slowly on their tails.
The male seahorse carries the eggs in its pouch. It has to take care of them until they hatch. Them the baby sea horses pop their heads out and swim away. They swim straight away to a safe place to hide.
