Designed for anyone who loves the tiny little gifts from the sea we all know as Seahorses.

"Seahorses range in size from 0.6 to 14 in (1.5 to 35.5 cm).[4] They are named for their equine appearance. Although they are bony fish, they do not have scales but rather thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates, which are arranged in rings throughout their body. Each species has a distinct number of rings. Seahorses swim upright, another characteristic that is not shared by their close pipefish relatives, who swim horizontally. Razorfish are the only other fish that swim vertically like a seahorse. Unusual among fish, seahorses have a flexible, well-defined neck. They also sport a coronet on the head, which is distinct for each individual." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seahorse
