It depends on the seahorse.
Besides the fact that the babies are much smaller, there is no external difference between the two.
seahorses can cost about up to 250$ iv'e seen.The Dwarf Seahorse costs $20.
Seahorses have very inefficient digestive systems, so they need to eat a lot - adults eat 30-50 times a day and baby seahorses can eat up to 3,000 pieces of food a day.

The weight of a female seahorse varies a lot depending on how big they are. They can weight between 10 ounces up to 2 pounds.
They live in warm waters in coral reefs and mangroves. They don't travle much and go with the pull of the water. They have short lives.
Seahorses are bony fish. They have fins and a tail. Seahorses swim by moving their fins. They generally prefer to find a safe spot and hang onto seaweed or coral with their tails however. They don't swim around very much.
Seahorses are freely available so not worth anything. In addition, howrse does not endorse trading. You could offer to swap with a friend instead.
Most seahorses that are sold to for aquariums are bred in captivity so it doesn't impact the wild seahorses as much. Wild seahorses are also harder to keep alive because they are pickier about their food, The other trade that uses seahorses is Chinese medicine. I don't know for sure, if those are wild caught or captive bred but I would imagine that captive breeding would be more cost effective.
