Dwarf Seahorse
Dec. 23 - Jan. 20

You may be small in stature, but as a dwarf seahorse you are the most serious and stable of all the sea steed breeds. You make up for your small size with your hard work and results-oriented attitude. You're independent and a leader of the herd even though you may prefer to use your camouflage to stay hidden. You swim with the currents while incorporating your practical and efficient methods. And your attention to detail makes for the most organized grasses in the sea.


You like early morning starts, and you have a desire for knowledge. You enjoy time alone, and you love a good meal with a fine seahorse wine.

You dislike being cold or seeing litter anywhere in the bay. Lazy seahorses and failure are two things that make your hair-like filaments stand on end.

You are practical and prudent, and you always know where your next mysid shrimp is coming from. You are a loyal friend, patient and not easily deterred from your goals. And you can be quite funny, once you loosen up those bony plates of armor and uncurl that prehensile tail.
