I really wanted to see a real sea horses. Hoping to see it someday.
Seahorses are also my favorite. We saw one in his natural habitat in Mozambique. He was as small as my finger nail.

I would say gold fish. They have short term memory. I would love if I could forget my sorrows.

It's hard to choose, but I would say dolphins are my favorite. I also think seahorses are interesting, as well as clownfish.

Penguins rock! I especially love seeing penguin chicks. They're so cute with their downy gray feathers and the way they waddle when they're just babies. <3

I read a recent article saying that the average attention span of modern humans is now less than that of a goldfish. Kind of scary, when you think about it.

I can't really decide on one specific sea creature, but the first one that comes to mind is the turtle. They are fascinating creatures.

This was exactly what I was thinking. They seem to cross between what we consider a creature in a fantasy world and one in ours. Very neat

The sea is a beautiful yet scary, mostly unexplored place (under the sea). The dolphins seem to be the "good guys" of the underwater creatures. They are smart, "social" and kind according to the studies and documentation of the dolphin's lifestyle, they seem to be very social among each other and they never hesitate to help swimmers reach the shore or retrieve fallen objects.

Easily the mantis shrimp. They may not be the cutest sea creature, but they have gorgeous rainbow shells, and are essentially tiny death machines. The shrimp lure in their prey by being beautiful, and when said prey gets in close proximity they strike with the speed and power of Thor's hammer. The reflexes of the mantis shrimp are second to none, and you better hope you don't find yourself trapped in it's claws, because you will not be getting out. In addition to to having insane physical attributes, these shrimps also have sixteen types of cones in their eyes. Sixteen! To put this in perspective we humans have a mere three cone types allowing us to view color. Mantis shrimp must be on some other level of psychedelic rainbow tripping vision with all these extra cones. As if the mantis shrimp needed to be any cooler, they also possess appendages they use with all the acceleration of a speeding bullet, no exaggeration!

I love sea lions as well. They are the only sea creatures which know rhythm. They can tap their hands by following a rhythm.

There are lots of fascinating creatures in the sea. I think that star fish are the most interesting.

Hmm...I guess seahorses. They are just so unique in appearance and has a mysterious feel about them.
