The Common Seahorse, or Yellow Seahorse, can grow up to 12 inches, has a 45-degree angled head, and can change color to blend into its surroundings.
Its habitat includes shallow waters such as seagrass beds, coral reefs, mangroves, and estuaries in the Indo-Pacific region. It feeds on small crustaceans and zooplankton, using its snout to suck in food like a vacuum.
