FLora ID


What is the grass in the background? I believe the Fauna is the Dwarf Sea Horse (DSH) Hippocampus zosterae. The Sea Grass Might be the so called Turtle Grass (Thalassia restudinium) but I am not sure. The reason I would like to lnow is that I would want to keep both in my Aquarium. But if it is in fact Turtle Grass I would have to have a 10 inch sand bed. That is something I don’t want to do.

wes,

It looks like it could be tutle grass, or mangroves - I am TERRIBLE with ID's like that - so it's just a guess.

Same on the pony... either a baby or a dwarf.

Dwarf seahorses can be kept and other hitching posts can be used.

The pony is definately a Dwarf.

As to the grass I think the everyone believes it to be Turtle Grass.
