When where and how often does the knysna seahorse eat?

The Knysna seahorse primarily feeds on small crustaceans, such as mysids and copepods, in its natural habitat of seagrass beds and shallow estuaries along the southern coast of South Africa. They typically hunt during the day, using their elongated snouts to suck in prey. While they do not have a set feeding schedule, they eat throughout the day as food becomes available, with their feeding frequency depending on the abundance of prey in their environment.
