Fun Fact:
Seahorses have a unique bony “crown” on their heads called a coronet. Like a fingerprint, the coronet is distinct for each seahorse. This is the only difference between our two figures.

Fun Facts:
According to britannica.com, the largest species, the big-bellied seahorse (H. abdominalis), which inhabits the waters off South Australia and New Zealand, can grow up to 35 cm (13.8 inches) in length.
Unusual among fish, a seahorse has a flexible, well-defined neck. It also sports a crown-like spine or horn on its head, termed a “coronet”, which is distinct for each species.
