Seahorse
Seahorses get their names from their horse like appearance. They are always well camouflaged to hide against the plants that they live from hungry predators. A Seahorse's favourite food is mysis shrimp and we feed them this tasty treat 3 times a day. The Seahorse is not in immediate danger, but is vulnerable because there aren't many left.
