(Hippocampus reidi)
The longsnout seahorse is found in the western Atlantic from North Carolina, Bermuda and the Bahamas, south to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It occurs in coastal marine and brackish water among soft corals and sea grasses. It is an uncommon species within its range, but in those areas where it is found, it is common.
In the longsnout seahorse, the female imbeds the fertilized eggs in a pouch under the male seahorse’s tail. He carries the eggs during the two-week gestation period and can give birth to about 1,500 young at once.
You can see the longsnout seahorses in the Tropical Diver gallery at the Georgia Aquarium.
