The quiet beauty of a seahorse swimming along the ocean floor is a sight to behold. The seahorse’s long, flowing tail undulates as it moves through the water, and its tiny, delicate fins barely make a ripple. The seahorse’s body is a brilliant blend of colors, often with vibrant stripes or spots. It is a real reminder of the beauty and diversity of the ocean.
This design from @SweetPotato3 is truly one of the best seahorse patterns I have ever seen!
