Do sea horses care for their young?
No, seahorses do not care for their young after birth. Like most other fish species, seahorses abandon their young to the dangers of the ocean.
Seahorses in the wild use their curly, prehensile tail to hold onto seagrasses or coral. They then suck plankton and small crustaceans (like brine shrimp) in through their snout. Like the mammal horse, they graze almost constantly and will eat up to 3,000 brine shrimp per day.
If you have a captive one in a saltwater tank (which is unlikely as they are difficult to keep and many types are regulated species in worldwide), brine shrimp alone is not an adequate diet for them. They are picky eaters, but also are very wide variety of specialized foods.

Who takes care of baby seahorses after they are born?
No one really.
Fish in general aren't big at parenting, and seahorses follow that pattern.
Once the eggs hatch, the tiny seahorses swim out in the sea and are left to survive best they can.
Their 'skin' is made of a layer of bony plates (not really skin then). These bony plates are really just modified scales. They cannot be shed.
