jgf86123 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Now that's cool, what kind of seahorse is that? and is it me, or does he look like he's a pretty good sized seahorse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC-k3v Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Not sure on the kind, but I'm looking to find out. It was good size. Here is a better shot to get a size reference. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC-k3v Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Hippocampus kuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 You sure it's a Kuda and not a fisheri? Hard to make a great ID from the pic. The kuda complex of the hippocampus does confuse me often. Maybe I just want it to be a fisheri so you can catch me a pair and I can pay you a lot of money for them, but they are the prevalent species in your region according to the books. The first picture did make it look like an ingens. I have seen a couple of huge ones, over 18" tall and close to 8" from pouch to dorsal fin. That would have been really exciting to see in Hawaii.

jgf86123 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Kevin, are you going to be at the meeting? I'd love to pick your brain about seahorses if you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC-k3v Posted May 16, 2010 Author Share Posted May 16, 2010 Swimming with a SeaHorse Fisher's are a palegic species. This kuda was photographed about 30 feet from shore. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 So what's the difference between a palegic species an the kuda's? Are the Kuda's able to be kept in a tank? Or are they one of the seahorse species that are advised to be left in the ocean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC-k3v Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 That was my reasoning behind the photograph. Where else can you see two pregnant males, of different species, in one photo? k3v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC-k3v Posted May 19, 2010 Author Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ohhhh man! Thats harsh! (laugh) The truth is never harsh.
