Seahorses are also able to move in a vertical position, which is unusual for fish. They do this by using their tail, which is prehensile and can curl around objects. This allows them to anchor themselves to seaweed or coral and move up and down in the water.
Seahorses are slow-moving creatures, and they typically move at a speed of around 1.5 miles per hour. However, they are able to burst forward at speeds of up to 2 miles per hour when they are threatened or hunting for food.
