The story:  I was fortunate enough to have seen seahorses participating in their pre-mating ritual before.When I saw these two swimming tail in tail, appeared to be singing and exhibiting "flirting" behavior, I knew I was in for a special treat.I watched and waited for close to 90 minutes until they finally swam up into the water column together.I moved in as close as I could without interfering.As you can see, the female is very aware of my presence and appears concerned.
