Description: Family Syngnathidae - Seahorses: Pipefishes - Body encased in tough but flexible horny rings, all except the first corresponding with the vertebrae, of which the first three are ankylosed. Body form mostly elongate, with clearly defined head, trunk and tail, the trunk stouter, in Seahorses much stouter, than the usually slender tail. The head rather slender, its chief features a tubular sometimes very elongate snout with a small terminal oblique mouth, no teeth of any kind: a tiny pore-like branchial opening, the gillmembranes fused with the skin of the shoulder; four lobate or tuft-like gills. Pelvics absent, other fins usually present, the caudal often absent, rarely the anal or the pectoral or all fins absent.
