Commonly, pygmy seahorses come in pink, orange, yellow, or gray, blending in more easily with their natural colors this way. They have narrower snouts than other species, as well, making them easy to identify, even apart from their size. All seahorse species described in this article are predators or omnivores. Due to their relatively inept swimming ability, they rely mainly on camouflage to catch their prey, which largely consists of small crustaceans, small shrimp, and planktonic organisms. Trade in the tiny creatures is strictly regulated because of their use in traditional medicine, aquariums and their sale as dried curios. But because they are poor swimmers and cannot easily move elsewhere, habitat loss is a particular threat for these curious animals. Seahorses are used as a zodiac symbol in the Celtic culture.

Their head resembles a horse, they have a pouch like a kangaroo, and their tail is prehensile for gripping objects, like a monkey. In addition, their body is covered by a series of bony plates and they have tiny “wings” (which are dorsal fins) for guiding them slowly and clumsily through the water. Other charming qualities in people guided by the Seahorse spirit are the adorably courteous nature and unfathomable patience. These people are polite to a fault. You will never hear a bad thing coming out of their mouth. Even if they are slightly hurt by you, they will still not talk to you harshly. At their worst, they will simply choose to be silent around you.Other theories suggest that the bright colors help the seahorses communicate with one another. Their coloration signals mood, and since these beautiful animals are highly social, this would likely help other seahorses know how to respond to each other. The coloring and markings are also thought to help identify one seahorse from another, which may also help them communicate. Can Seahorses Change Colors?

Every color has its own symbolism and spiritual meaning. Therefore, you can’t expect all the Seahorse dreams to have the same interpretation, regardless of their color. As you can guess from the name, the most well-known seahorse is the common seahorse. These have horse-like heads, bumpy bellies, and spiral tails. They are the most commonly found in the marine pet trade.A seahorse’s teeth are small and sharp. It uses these teeth to cut into plants and algae so that it can get enough food to eat.
