Jia's seahorse, Latin name Hippocampus jayakari, is a species of Syngnathidae in the order Acanthopterygii of the class Actinopterygii.
Although it looks gentle, the Chiari seahorse is a voracious carnivore that eats any animal it can swallow, mainly small crustaceans, fish and other invertebrates.
Male Chiari seahorses have pouches and are responsible for hatching, with a gestation period of 4-6 weeks. Newly hatched seahorses live alone and are not cared for by their parents.
The IUCN Red List lists them as Data Deficient (DD).
Protect wild animals and stop eating game.
Maintaining ecological balance is everyone's responsibility!
