The moment a female seahorse transfers her eggs into the male’s brood pouch, captured here by K Hunt at Aqualush LTD. Shortly afterward, the male shakes himself to ensure that the fertilized eggs slide into a favorable position in his pouch. His partner usually swims away to go hunting and feeding.
