Dwarf seahorse
The dwarf seahorse (''Hippocampus zosterae'') is a species of seahorse. It is found in the Bahamas and the United States. Its natural habitat is subtidal aquatic beds. It is threatened by habitat loss. According to ''Guinness World Records'', it is the slowest moving fish, with a top speed of about five feet per hour (152 cm per hour).〔Guinness Book of World Records (2009)〕
It is most often white in color but can range from tan, brown, yellow and green. In the wild, it often has small skin growths called cirri that resemble algae.
==Description==
Like other seahorses, the dwarf seahorse has a head angled at right angles fecal to its body matter and swims upright using its dorsal fin to propel it and its pectoral fins to steer. It grows to a length of between and its color ranges from beige, yellow, green, and black. It may have white speckles, dark spots or protrusions and is well-camouflaged, the coloring usually matching the gorgonian on which it is typically found. It can change color.
