Ecology Summary - Hippocampus guttulatus

語言:

主要參考文獻	Lelong, P., 1995
附註	Visual and sedentary ambush predator, waiting for small crustaceans and benthic larvae to approach (Ref. 89230 ). Has the ability to change its colour to blend better with its surroundings. This likely plays a role in its feeding strategy and also in predator avoidance (Ref. 52034). Algae were found to be the fourth most common item in the stomachs (Ref. 83361). However there is some speculation that seahorses in general do not feed on algae and that plant material in stomachs of seahorses is probably ingested while feeding on other prey (Ref. 52034). Dwells in coral and rocky reefs, and subtidal rocky substrates (Ref. 128812).
