Caption
This species is commonly known as the spotted seahorse, yellow seahorse, or estuary seahorse. It is characteristically smoother in appearance than most other species, of medium size, 7-17 cm (2.7-6.7 inches). Shown here is a female, identifiable by its lack of a large brood pouch for harboring the young.
