The longsnout seahorse is the most commonly encountered seahorse species in the Caribbean and Dominica supports some of the healthiest populations in the Lesser Antilles. Males carry the young in a brood pouch for 14 to 28 days and give birth to miniature fully formed juveniles. At Scotts Head they are found anchored by their prehensile tails to gorgonians and sponges between 12 and 30 m depth.
