The lined seahorse (*Hippocampus erectus*) is a species of seahorse commonly found along the Atlantic coast of North and South America. Recognized by the faint lines on its body, this species is known for its graceful swimming style and ability to camouflage among seagrasses and corals. Unlike most fish, seahorses have a bony external skeleton rather than scales and are unique for their reproductive behavior, where males carry and birth the young.

This skeleton replica is created from a 3D scan of an authentic specimen, cast in durable resin, and carefully hand-painted to capture each intricate detail and bone structure.

Perfect for educators, marine enthusiasts, and collectors, this lined seahorse skeleton replica is an extraordinary addition that offers insight into the delicate anatomy of one of the ocean’s most iconic species.
