weird seahorse?

[jiffy]

today when i went to my local FS, there were these 2 weird seahorses in the seahorse tank.. they were long and seemed to coast along the bottom in a slithering motion.. wondering what they were because i read the tank and it listed sea hare, little did i know that is some kind of slug. so if anyone with knowledge on this creature could please enlighten me, it would be appreciated. :wink:

Could it have been a Pipefish of some sort and not a Seahorse at all?

does anyone have any info on this little fella? like do they need to be placed in certain kinds of tanks, do fish target them for bullying, what do they eat... things like that
