What would a seahorse feel like if you touched it?

The texture of a seahorse varies depending on the species. Some have smooth, leathery skin, while others have rough, bony plates. Generally, seahorses feel firm and slightly rubbery to the touch. They are not slimy like some other fish, but they may be damp or moist. Additionally, their bodies are covered in small spines that can feel prickly if you rub them the wrong way.
