Etymology: Hippocampus: Greek, ippos = horse + Greek,kampe = curvature (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ekologi
laut berasosiasi dengan karang; nir-ruaya; kisaran kedalaman 0 - 100 m (Ref. 128812). Subtropical; 10°C - 27°C (Ref. 36630); 50°N - 32°S, 98°W - 32°W (Ref. 52034)
Western Atlantic: Canada (off Scotian shelf) to Brazil; including countries of the Gulf of Mexico and the West Indies. A southern form that may prove to be a separate species is known from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and questionably from Suriname.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / umur
Maturity: Lm 6.3 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 19.0 cm OT jantan/; (Ref. 30915); Umur maksimum dilaporkan: 1.00 Tahun (Ref. 1285)
Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 16 - 20.
Generally in coastal waters; often around man-made structures (Ref. 26938). Usually attached to gorgonians or seagrasses but may occur in floating Sargassum or swimming freely in midwater (Ref. 9710). Those that live in Sargassum usually have bony protuberances and fleshy tabs that may serve as camouflage. Has been reared in captivity (Ref. 35420, 35422). Move into deeper waters during winter (Ref. 36630). Feeds by sucking in small organisms, using its long face as a pipette (Ref. 26938); like small crustaceans (Ref. 27549). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205). The male carries the eggs in a brood pouch which is found under the tail (Ref. 205). Length type refers to Height (= from top of coronet to the tip of straightened tail).
Incubates eggs in an external marsupium. Gestation period 20-21 days but varies with water temperature (Ref. 30915).
