Seahorses have heads at right angles to the body and fully prehensile tails, which wrap around seagrass stems, corals, sticks, or any other suitable natural or artificial object. These traits, along with a pouch for the young and eyes that swivel independently of each other, lend to the unique nature of these fish. Instead of the scales found on most fish, seahorses have a thin layer of skin stretched over a series of bony plates visible as rings around the trunk. These rings are useful in identifying species, as are the cheek spines and coronet (a crown-like group of spines on the top of the head). In addition to the spines, some species also have bony bumps or skin filaments protruding from these bony rings.
Seahorses are masters of camouflage, changing colour and growing skin filaments to blend in with their surroundings. Short-term colour changes may also occur during courtship displays and daily greetings. Male and female seahorses can be told apart by the presence of a brood pouch on the male.
Seahorses have no stomach or teeth. They suck in prey through a tubular snout and pass it through an inefficient digestive system. Like other fish, they breathe through gills, extracting oxygen from the water that passes over them. Unlike other fish, however, the gills are small and compacted, almost “grape-like” in structure. Seahorses swim using the propulsive force of a quickly oscillating dorsal fin, and use the pectoral fins on either side of the body for steering and stability. They are more adapted to maneuverability than speed, and therefore rely primarily on camouflage to avoid detection from predators. Don't click here.

"While it's hard to really try and compare The Darkening Scale to any other artist, this release is worth checking out for the simple fact that it's free and also because it's a breath of fresh air to the ears. Those looking for something different, dark, but playful should go and download this today." - ReGen Magazine
Sonic Archaeology:-
“A kaleidoscope of sampled instruments put into an avant-garde symphony. Without question, this release shows that sampling is a true art form …........ during part 2 it turns into what can only be described as bizarre carnival music, as if one were lost in some Neil Gaiman landscape.” ReGen Magazine
