Best Answer

Seahorses are very slow. They only use their small dorsal fins to propel themselves through the water, steering with their pectoral fins. They mainly rely on camouflage for protection, by changing colors very fast, and staying still in the water. They may anchor themselves to a plant with their tails. Their spiny armor is also an important defense.
