What is a baby seahorse called?

Baby seahorses are tiny creatures (under 1/4 inch) called fry. They are born completely independent and functioning, so when baby seahorses are born they begin to live on their own. They spend the first several weeks of their lives drifting along in the plankton layer of the ocean. As well as in the wild, baby seahorses may be raised by breeders.

This can be interesting: Seahorses are considered fish, but have a lot of distinctive characteristics. Unlike other fish, they don't have scales. They live in water, breath through gills and have a swim bladder. But instead of caudal fins seahorses have a long snake-like tail. They also have a neck and a snout that points down. Another distinguishing feature of seahorses is their exo-skeleton, which is not typical of fish.
