Seahorses are excellent ambush hunters. They hang on to underwater plants with their tails to camoflage themselves. Then, they just need to wait for a tiny crustacean (like a copepod or a mysis shrimp) to wander by and strike! As far as water goes, there is plenty of that in the ocean. :)

Seahorses are a type of fish, so they have gills. The gills absorb oxygen and fresh water out of the salt water. Fish also absorb water through their skin.
