About this item
Dwarf Seahorse
Dwarf Seahorse (Hippocampus zosterae) is a fascinating micro-species known for its tiny size and delicate, intricate appearance. Often no larger than a fingertip, these seahorses create a captivating display as they cling to macroalgae and gently sway with the movement of the water.
Best kept in groups, Dwarf Seahorses display natural perching and social behaviors, wrapping their tails around seagrass and decorative structures. Their small size and slow, deliberate movement make them a unique addition to species-specific or dedicated macroalgae systems.
