Meet Hippocampus Kuda The yellow seahorse fish
Hippocampus kuda is a species of seahorse, also known as the common seahorse, estuary seahorse, yellow seahorse or spotted seahorse. The common name sea pony has been used for this species under its synonym Hippocampus fuscus.
Yellow seahorses are poor swimmers. They lack caudal fins and only use their dorsal fins for propulsion. Using their prehensile tails, they usually cling to seagrass and other substrates. They can change colour patterns to camouflage themselves.
The yellow seahorse inhabits waters from the Persian Gulf to Southeast Asia, Australia, Japan, and several Pacific islands including Hawaii, and is also found the eastern coast of Africa from Tanzania to South Africa.
