Usually this kind of fish has been considered very attached to their partners and within the curiosities it is said that they choose a partner for all their marine life and when one dies the other lasts a single time and dies as well. The average life in the nature of a seahorse is between 4 and 6 years.

These seahorses have a ritual like many animals which consists of a courtship dance that can last several days until mating occurs and this dance allows the male and female to evaluate the reproductive status.

Their colors may vary and more when they are endangered by a predator in this case more than all would be the penguins, which is their only defense mechanism that have the camouflage with their marine environment to not be devoured.
Unfortunately, these beautiful creatures can not keep a time in captivity as fish tanks because the captivity diminishes their life time
Seahorses are too cool. When I was young we would use a pool net to scoop them out of the ocean at my buddies home on an inlet. Then we would slowly change their water from salt to brackish then to fresh to make them easier to maintain.
How wonderful that you had that opportunity to see and touch them I have never seen one in photos and researching to make this post I would like to see them in person although they are not to be held captive for their short life but those little horses are great
They were in abundance in S.W. Florida when I was young. Now they are hard to find here.
If I already saw that you are from florida and well at least you have seen them, I live in venezuela and retired from the beaches
gotcha?
