Originally landed on: Life Cycle of a Seahorse
Believe it or not, a seahorse is a type of finfish. It's just heavily modified from what you might think of as a "normal" fish shape. According to the Tree of Life as of 2007, its current taxonomic (scientific) classification is:
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Osteichthyes
Class Actinopterygii
Order Gasterosteiformes
Syngnathoidei
Family Syngnathidae
Genus Hippocampus
There are about 40 species worldwide today.
