Seahorses swim in and out coral reefs.
Seahorses come from 6 different continents. The seahorse eyes can swivel independently of each other to enable the seahorse to watch prey without moving. The seahorse camouflages by adopting the colours of surrounding weed. The female lays her eggs in the male's pouch, where they hatch and develop. The male will take the eggs until his pouch is full.
