Seahorses have excellent vision, and their eyes are independently mobile, allowing them to scan a wide area without moving their heads. This is an important adaptation for detecting predators and prey in their complex underwater environment.
Depth Perception
Seahorses use their eyes to judge distance and depth, which is important for navigating through their environment and capturing prey.
Camouflage
Some species of seahorse have eyes that can change color to match their surroundings, which helps them to camouflage themselves from predators and prey.
Comunication
Seahorses use their eyes to communicate with each other. They may display different eye patterns or movements to convey messages, such as aggression, courtship, or territorial behavior.
