Seahorses are very unlike your typical fish be it a Salmon, Trout, Cod or Goldfish. In body shape they are worlds away from flatfish like Plaice or Sole. They are unique in that they appear to stand upright with a head and neck like those of a horse.
Seahorses are poor swimmers. Their tails are able to grasp and to hold, so they use them to anchor themselves to seaweeds and seagrasses while they feed by sucking in any small prey items that happen to stray within their reach either floating in the water or crawling on the bottom. Their lives are mainly sedentary, and their diet consists mainly of small crustaceans, fish eggs and plankton.
