did u ever seen a real seahorse?

I have always loved sea horses, but never saw on until a few years ago at The Aquarium of the Pacific in Los Angeles, and was so dissapointed that I dind't want to look at them again. They look hardly nothing like the seahorse we all know and love! They are almost spooky looking, lurking around and floating and eary looking. I was so dissapointed! They had a tank of some that just had babies and even the little guys were ugly! My grand daughter calls them nannytimbos (why we don't know but she does!) and she was dissapointed that they didn't look like we all think, but was so amazed and intrigued with them that at least she didn't get her bubble smashed like I did! I wil say tho, that they tanka nd presentation at the Aquarium was quite amazing and really something to see. They did a good job with it.

Nope I have never been close enough to touch a seahorse. I suppose I'd have to be deep sea diving to do that.

I've seen one in an aquarium though, but it was all sealed up so there was no way I could have touched it.

Perhaps if I see one in a marine aquarium with an open top I could try to touch it. but whoever owned the aquarium and the seahourse would probably not let me! I'm sure there are germs on my hands that might alter the delicate marine environment.

ive seen them at an aquarium in San Diego!! they and especially the sea dragons are exquisite creatures! i love them and find them exactly as i imagined them (not sure what other ppl were picturing in their heads..from stories i guess?)

the sea dragons in particular are spectacular! and its amazing the variety of colors that sea horses come in..from a rather drab creamy color to even vivid purple!!

they are one of my favorite sea creatures!
