Do you mean dwarf sea horses or sea hares? Sea horses and sea hares are two different types of animals.

From Live Aquaria's website, there doesn't seem to be much that's dwarfish about them. It says their maximum size gets to be 1 foot, and their purchase size is 1 3/4" to 4". That's the same size as a regular ol' sea hare. I think they're kinda the same thing. Plus, the "dwarf" sea hare is the same genus as the regular sea hare.

Nope, I'm pretty sure they're the same thing... They are neat little animals though. I really loved my sweet Jessica I and Jessica II.

I have heard they do not last long, and when they die they are very toxic unless you can find them and get them out. I found one in my nano awile back.

Are these the little ones with blue spots? I bought one a month ago and after a week I never saw it again. It's gone. I have pipefish that are very sensitive and after he disappeared I had no ill effects though, my tanks parameters are pristine.
