New to the forums and picked up a new pair of seahorses

[Caleb100]

Hey all,

I'm new here just a brief intro, My names Caleb I'm a Biology major minoring in Zoology. I work at Petco as an aquatics specialist. I am very into keeping and researching marine species. I currently have a 72 gallon fowlr tank and a ten gallon nano reef. My newest addition is a pair of seahorses that I ordered in as CB Hippocampus Kuda but not completely convinced so I figured I would ask just to make sure it is a positive id on them.
Pictures are pretty crappy took them with my phone took a few so you guys can hopefully tell.

Thanks All!

To make a proper ID you need a close up profile shot showing fine detail.
You can download the ID guide and compare your seahorses to kudas and others in the guide, especially noting the spine descriptions and the coronet shape/configuration.

It usually takes a long time for me to download this due to it's content size.
