Seahorses are bony fishes (teleosts), complete with gills, fins and a swim-bladder. These seahorses are the largest of their genus. The maximum height has been measured at 35 cm. Their elongated bodies are encased in bony plates that look like rings, and they are covered with skin, not scales as is the case with other fish. They have no pelvic fins, but small pectoral fins and a single dorsal fin. The dorsal fin, on their back, provides propulsion, while the ‘ear-like’ pectoral fins, below the gill opening, are used for stability and steering; the function of the little anal fin is unknown. They swim in an upright position with their tails down and their heads up, held at right angles to their body. They have a tube like mouth/snout with no teeth. They have small gill openings and a prehensile tail.
