Thanks to Renee for this photo and summary - click photo to read summary

Sometimes an underweight seahorse will display abnormal feces. This picture represents normal seahorse feces to the left and abnormal stringy feces to the right. Contrary to popular opinion this is not always associated with internal parasites and can be an indication that the seahorse is eating very little, or not at all.
