There are approximately four species of seahorses around North America down to South America. They range in size from a very small species, sometimes known as the dwarf seahorse, which is only about an inch long, up to a species off the Pacific Coast of Central America which gets to be about a foot long called Hippocampus ingens. And then there's Hippocampus reidi, which is found in the Caribbean in coral reefs. It's quite a slender, but quite large seahorse and one of my favorite species, because when they dance they turn these fluorescent neon colors. And then Hippocampus erectus is quite a big chunky seahorse and it's found from Nova Scotia all the way down to perhaps Uruguay.
