Hippocampus

Seahorses, Hippocampus, are small marine fish that are found in shallow tropical and temperate waters around the world. They are known for their horse-like head and their prehensile tail, which they use to anchor themselves to seagrass and other underwater plants. Their body is covered by bony plates, which gives them a unique armor-like appearance. They are also unique in that they are the only fish species where the male carries the eggs.
