Re: Identifying Seahorses

2 and 3 look to be reidi but it's hard to tell from those pics, could be kuda. Both are definitely males though. I can't tell anything on the first one. Is it possible to get a side profile of the heads? The coronet is the easiest way to differeniate between kuda and reidi. Kuda have a higher more rearward sloping coronet whereas reidi is lower and not sloped.

Take a look here for some pics of the different species.
