This morning, we took a tour of the Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm. They are sustainably growing seahorses for the aquarium trade, and have a very successful breeding program.
The tanks look pretty generic from the outside, but when you see what they are growing inside the tanks, it's pretty cool.
Below are some of the seahorses that we were able to observe. The seahorses were about 6 to 8 inches in length, and they frequently wrap their tails around other seahorses or structures. Their use their prehensile tails to anchor themselves in place. They are not very strong swimmers.
