Hippocampi, better known as Seahorses, are small fish with segmented bony armor, an upright posture, a curled prehensile tail, a tubular snout, and a head and neck suggestive of a horse. Thus the name seahorse. Their size usually average between 0.6 and 14 inches.

When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the egg for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses emerge fully developed, but very small. The young are then released into the water, and the male often mates again within hours or days.
