Seahorses avoid their predators by relying heavily on their camouflage. Due to the fact that they are slow, their best bet is to simply stop moving and blend in with their surroundings. Luckily, adult seahorses do not have very many natural predators, both because they are difficult to find and because their bony plates and spiny structure make them an undesirable meal.
