How are the bands placed?
Note the small bands on the tail of the H. zosterae, the pygmy seahorse.
Note the large evenly placed bands on the tail of the H. comes, commonly called the Tiger Tailed seahorse.
The horse above shows the banding that can be on H. erectus, the Giant, or Altantic seahorse.
Prominent bands on H. reidi.
More bands shown on another H. erectus.
Some seahorses don't show their banding as prominetly as other, however, this H. reidi female still has some banding.
Once again, banding is shownn on a pair of H. reidis.
