Curious Sea Horses: Army of Tiny Yet Striking Creatures
Smithsonian note explains seahorses eggs. Males carry eggs in a pouch on tail, others embed in skin. About 40 species range in warm seas from Massachusetts to Mediterranean. Size from 2 inches to 1 foot, some eastern Pacific forms reach two feet and resemble pipefishes. Gentle swimmers, they drift attached to weeds or corals, seldom moving rapidly. Readers may send questions with stamped envelopes for Nature Magazine staff to answer.
