Early Growth and Development of a Natural Helper

Hello! Hey!
My no bodies...
could I just be writing for...
myself?
Am I hoping against hope that my blog about my beloved friends "the seahorses"may never be read by anyone,
thus it would not offer any help to any one?
So what!
Forward we go!

Now, the newest seahorse is gentled cradled in my hand as I remove him from Pet Den's packaging. His tail holds my finger as though for dear life.
Seahorses do get easily upset (stressed) over change. Especially an environmental one.
My hand sinks into the 74 degree, warm salt water.
Reluctantly, the seahorse slowly loosens his grip and goes into his "new home".
Seahorses Sweetheart and Valentina are hungrily munching on live tank brine.
But the new guy...he goes directly to the bottom of the tank fighting off the minuscule brine shrimp,
running away from them for dear life!
Around and around the tank he goes like a maniac with his tail stretched out gliding over the rocks.
He is not gonna eat his dinner...
He is scared and gonna run away from it!
