because they are not awsome swimers.and they let the sea carry them where every the sea takes them that's where they go.& they use there tails to pull on kelp stop them from moving.
Do male sea horses incubate eggs?
Almost. The female sea horse lays her eggs in a pouch on the male sea horse's belly. When the eggs hatch then the male does go through a sort of labour and delivery, but not really. Note* sometimes a miss-hap happens when they do that and the male ends up delivering the babies or dieing.

How do seahorses move through the ocean?

What temperature do seahorses like?
Depending on the species of seahorse, they can live in temperate waters or cooler water areas. Pot Bellied seahorses are a cool water species. They DO NOT eat seaweed by the way. and they swim because they are conisdered a fish. They have gills. An octopus is an invertebrate meaning no spine, as is a star fish. However, Octopus' can be predatory and eat many fish and require a species only tank that is sealed to keep them from escaping. They are very good at getting out of tanks, because their bodies mold to any shape. Star fish are inverts as well. They can eat some corals, so some species aren't considered reef safe. Others are detritis eaters, which means they clean up after the other fish have eaten.

Can you keep a sea horse as a pet?
It's not a good idea. Sea horses are very slow moving. They should be provided with something that they can hold on to an ideally a light water flow would bring the food to them. They don't usually do well if they have to compete for food with faster swimming fish.
good answer: sea horses can be kept in an established reef tank that generates its own "wildlife" in the live rock so they can forage for food as in the wild, since they normally eat live things they are always on the hunt, this is the same problem with the mandarinfish.
_______________________________________________________________
As stated above with the mandarin goby it is recommended the tank be atleast 6 months established. Also as stated above light flow tanks are ideal as they are not very profecient swimmers and can not easily catch food. I would not introduce many types of fish with the horses as they are vulnerable. Gorgonia or other branchy saltwater decorations are needed for the horses to anchor themselves to to sleep and rest.

Are slugs cold blooded or warm blooded?
Slugs are considered to be cold blooded as they use exothermic means to control their body temperature. This means that they control their temperature via external means by taking advantage of the environment around them. This would include things like sunning on rocks to warm up, or shading themselves to cool down.
