DESCRIPTION: Seahorse is the name given to 46 species of small marine fish in the genus Hippocampus. ‘Hippo' means "horse" and “kampos” sea monster in ancient Greek. The Seahorse has a head and neck suggestive of a horse, they also feature segmented bony armour, an upright posture and a curled prehensile tail. Unusually among fish, a seahorse has a flexible, well-defined neck. It also sports a crown-like spine or horn on its head, termed a "coronet", which is distinct for each species. Seahorses swim very poorly, rapidly fluttering a dorsal fin and using pectoral fins to steer. Seahorses swim upright, propelling themselves using the dorsal fin, another characteristic not shared by their close pipefish relatives, which swim horizontally
