Macduff Marine Aquarium
Short-snouted Seahorse (Hippocampus hippocampus) at Macduff Marine Aquarium, taken by David Palmar. The short- snouted seahorse has one fleshy spine above each eye, a body covered in small bumps and a short upturned snout compared to its cousin- the Long-snouted Seahorse (Hippocampus guttulatus). Similar to other seahorse species it swims upright and uses its tail to cling to weeds. Despite population numbers of Short-snouted Seahorses being unknown, they are a protected species in Scotland as they're thought to be vulnerable.
