Yes and No, some seahorses are poisonous to keep their prey away and some seahorses are not poisonous.
Seahorses prey on crustaceans and other small animals floating in the water. They attach themselves to coral by the tail and wait patiently until prey comes within striking distance.
Animals that prey on seahorses include crabs, tuna, and penguins.

Seahorses change their color to match their surroundings and then they hide in plants and suck them in through the plant so that the prey won't see them.
They "suck" the mysids or amphimipods up their long, tubular snout.
No, Seahorses live in shallow coral reefs near to the shore. They hold on to the coral and sea plants with their tail to camoflage themselves and ambush their prey. Seahorses are very slow swimmers. The middle of the ocean would be way too deep for them!
probably, by accident. That's actually correct. Sharks have a tendency to chew on and swallow most anything, even if it's not by any means food. Seahorses could fit into this category (and into the shark). However, seahorses are not part of the shark's food chain, and thus are not really prey for the shark. No.
There are male seahorses and female seahorses.
Seahorses have snouts so that they can probe into small nooks and crannies when searching for food. This means if their prey is hiding then the seahorses snout can squeeze into the hole or crack, and they can eat their dinner. It also helps because when they find food they suck it up through their snouts like a vacuum cleaner. Their snouts can expand if their prey is larger than the snout. They are not able to chew and have to disintergrate the food as they eat it.
they have eyes that can turn and see prey and predators easily. they have tube mouths to suck up food.
