Please look at these photos - our Seahorse (Willie if it is a boy and Wilma if it is girl) is crusty, or fuzzy.
We have had the horse since 10/20/05. It was smooth when we bought it. Over the last week or possibly two - it began to look furry, or fuzzy, or crusty. I looked up seahorse illnesses in a couple of books but this doesn't look like any illnesses I read about.
It is very active, appears very happy, very inquisitive, eats well, doesn't appear to act sick.
We have quite a bit of Southdown sand - could the sand (which becomes airborne occasionally) be sticking to the horse?
I wondered about getting a baby's toothbrush and gently brushing off the crusties? Or would that be dreadfully wrong? What could be done to get his/her smooth skin back? Some of the crusties appear loose as if they could be picked off.
