What do you call a group of seahorses?

Question

I wasn't sure if you call them a group, a school a herd or whatever? Anyone know?

Answer 1

Thanks! Now I won't be able to get this question out of my head all day.

Answer 2

Herd is informally used by aquarists. Seahorses do not usually group, so there isn't really a group term. As pointed out, "school" would be appropriate if you were to find a group of them.

Answer 3

I agree with Herd...

Answer 4

I think you call them schools or shoal.

the "BUTTMAN"

Answer 5

They're not horses they're fish, so a school or shoal. But if there is no recognized name, which I suspect, then maybe you could invent one.

A ride of sea horses?

A curl of sea horses?

A posse ...

Answer 6

there known as a herd of seahorses
