Rescued Seahorse Brings Babies!

Exciting news! CMA recently received a rescued seahorse who was found floating by a beachgoer. Our veterinarian removed the trapped air that was causing him to float, and then, amazingly, a few days later hundreds of baby seahorses were born! The father and his babies are doing well and are currently under observation in our marine animal hospital.

Help Us Name the Seahorse – Submissions Over!

While they remain in our care, we are asking for your help in choosing a name for the father seahorse!


Thank you to everyone that submitted a name! There were many great contenders, but the un-finkeable happened and one surged from behind to beat them all! Meet Bobby the seahorse, named in honor of Clearwater’s Olympic hero, Bobby Finke, who won two incredible gold medals in swimming.

Here are the top 100 runner-up names. We will save these for the baby seahorses!
