Since we have a friend, named after the "Seahorse" I thought you would like to know a some history about this creature. Seahorses are mysterious, secretive and legendary. They are also relatively calm and mild mannered. It looks like a creature that could only exist in someone's imagination and they are known to influence art, poetry, and writing in some cultures. They can be masters of camouflage. Their instruments of deception have several strategies. Their blotchy skin
patterns coupled with the ability to change colour help them blend into their surroundings. Many times the seahorse is invisible to divers. They are more diurnal than nocturnal.Total number of species have been established at about thirty two. They all belong to the genus "Hippocampus"This comes from the Greek words "Hippos"meaning "horse" and "Campus" meaning "sea monster," In Greek Mythology, "Hippocampus" refers to a mythical creature on which the sea gods rode.
