The Big-Belly Seahorse is one of the largest seahorse species in the world.
# It is up to 35cm long and is the largest seahorse in Australia.
# These seahorses have a forward-tilted, a long-snouted head, a distended but narrow pot belly and a long, coiled tail.
# It swims using its dorsal fin with a vertical stance and when it's not swimming, it coils its prehensile tail around any suitable growth (ie seaweed).
# These seahorses are found among algae, seagrasses and rocky reefs in shallow water. They usually inhabit waters less than 50m (160ft) deep, but have been found as deep as 104m (340ft).
# In the wild, breeding can commence when the seahorse is about one year old. Courtship initiation involves a series of colour changes and postural displays.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE !
