A hippocampus barbouri looks for food in a water basin at Sea Life in Hanover, Germany, 10 October 2009. The head of the animal bears similarity to that of a horse. This is the reason why the animals are called hippocampus which means ?horse grub?. The hippocampi are fed with very small zoo plankton, freshly hatched artemia salina and small shrimps.
