Brief Summary
provided by Ecomare
Seahorses are related to the pipefish. This strange fish, no longer than 15 centimeters, lives between eelgrass and seaweed, which it grips with its tail. Seahorses eat mainly small crustaceans and fish larvae. The eggs of seahorses are carried by the males in a pouch. Seahorses live mostly in the Mediterranean Sea, but in recent years have also been found more often in the Wadden Sea.
