Yes, they are so beautiful and I love the way their tails wrap around things in their environment. Someone told me that the Chinese harvesting of sea horses are actually decreasing because of the increase use of Viagra (a copy in China). That’s a pretty good slogan – Use Viagra! Save the Sea Horses.
