Wow. Did you find those in Baja? They look tiny. Do you know what kind they are?

very, very cool pic..how big are they?...did you find them on the beach?

rts551 - 2-2-2012 at 12:24 PM

They are 3-4 inches long.We found them on the beach(Pacific Ocean) in Punta Abreojos last year

I've only seen one in Conception Bay, it was off the beach on Isla Coyote, facing east.

Vince...I have seen them off Bargo Island n front of our places...y'know, where the huge 'forever' osprey nest was? Just below that was my favorite snorkling spot...a million years ago. I never collected any, though, more's the pity. Today? Hah..have fun trying to find one. :no:

Hang out in the mangroves

Alex saw one at La Ventana last summer.

He also claims to have been pursued by a sea snake at Concepcion. But I figure it must've been a moray.

Anybody got the flu down there? I'm just so tired of mine.

Saw a tiny live one at Shell Island... Baja Angel thought it was so cool to see one swimming along... It looked almost like some sea weed and not a sea horse!

I've seen sea horses in Bahia de Los Angeles as well.

We've seen several at different spots around Loreto. They are in the weeds ( bottom growth ) and are very hard to spot. Found some on the island beaches and the wife bought some in La Paz.

Me too. They are a treasure. On the top of "my favorite animal" list.

real odd looking, kinda like a chess piece.
