Dwarf Sea Horse – Scientific name Hippocampus Zosterae
It may be best if these little guys are in a tank just for them so they do not have to compete for food. I recommend feeding them newly hatched brine shrimp with the Artemia species being the best quality. I would also suggest a tank with a low current and no coral. If they attach to coral it may burn them. Soft Corals (like ) are safe.

The dwarf sea horses are very active and curious. I kept them in a small tank with low current and fed them brine shrimp daily. They seem healthy and enjoy the environment. No coral was present, as advised.

They arrived quickly and looked well-packaged. I followed the care tips and now have a peaceful tank. The male appears to be pregnant, which is exciting. I’ll monitor closely.

After setting up a small tank with soft corals and low flow, the sea horses adapted well. I feed them Artemia daily and they stay active and healthy. Very satisfied with the purchase.
