The copperband looks like a great addition to your tank, Raymond.

Seahorses are like chamelions. Mine started black and there now black and white. Not as white as yours but your tank is pretty bright. Looks great!

Hey Ray,
from what i understand, seahorses have Chaetomorpha cells, which are the same as chameleons, but they don't use them much or are as rapid changing as in chameleons, but i have kept sea horses from Ocean rider that came in red and turned black as they hung out on a black sea fan all the time, then i switched to a red sea fan and walla... back to red.

Teen,
Actually the leopard is now eating flake and anything else I put it so it doesn't really compete with the sea horse.

The plants help amazingly with the extra nutrients in the tank.

I figured as much Julio. Seems since there is no other sea horses it pretty much stays white. When I added another on it changed black. But once the little one died it went back to white. It’s healthy and eats, swims etc.

The jaw fish are really cool to watch though. Great personality on them.
