It is a unique marine organism belonging to fish, but its morphology and living habits differ greatly from common fish. They have a horse like head, a curved neck, and a long tail, and the most prominent feature is that their males have a brood sac where they can hatch eggs. The fins are very unique, including a dorsal fin, a pectoral fin, and a small pelvic fin, which enable them to stand upright and move slowly in water. The skin is covered with bony rings, which are composed of hard bone plates and provide protection. Mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical waters around the world, it usually inhabits seaweed beds, mangroves, and coral reefs.
