The Lunam Hippocampus (Hippocampus lunam) is a species of amphibious animal found on the Echous Islands. It is notable for its fluorescent pearl-white color and its capability to autonomously reproduce. Its body typically grows up to 70 centimeters long.

The Lunam Hippocampus is a carnivorous species that feeds on small fish, mollusks, and crustaceans. It is a highly adaptable species and can live in a wide range of habitats, from shallow coastal waters to deeper, darker areas.

The Lunam Hippocampus is a protected species, with conservation efforts being made to ensure its survival. It is considered a near threatened species and is listed under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Lunam hippocampus, also known as the "Moon seahorse", is a species of amphibian found in the Echous Islands. It is a unique species, as it has the ability to produce light by reflecting moonlight, giving it a fluorescent pearly white color. It is approximately 70 cm long, and its name is derived from ancient legends.

According to folklore, the Lunam hippocampus appears when the moon is full, and people who see it will have prophetic dreams about what will happen in the future. It is believed that by doing this it can help to prevent disasters or provide life opportunities.

This species is of interest to scientists who study its ability to auto-produce and emit light. Its mysterious nature also makes it a popular subject in folklore.

Males and females typically live apart from each other, though they can sometimes be found in the same areas. During the breeding season, the males will perform a courtship ritual, including swimming in circles. This is followed by the female laying several dozen eggs in a protected area, which hatch within a few days into larvae. The larvae will then feed and grow for several weeks before developing into adults within a few months.

Since the seahorse itself had become popular for ornamental purposes rather than for food, the public's rejection of consuming Moon seahorse as the food was quite widespread. In the past, however, people ate a lot regardless of East and West. In particular, it was widely used as a medicine because people believed that it had mysterious power.

The Moon seahorse sometimes was found in a cheap anchovy box (or salted shrimp container), if a domestic businessman did not carefully filter out the fish. Most of the species were baby seahorses, which is not large, probably due to the fishing gear and fishing areas.

It is mainly made into powder or boiled in soup, which has a similar taste to dried pollack.

A small number of well-grown Moon seahorses were exported for ornamental purposes, and most of the rest were exported well-dried.
It was mainly consumed as a medicinal ingredient. In the past, a pregnant woman wore a necklace made out of dried seahorses, and after giving birth to a baby, maternity ate seahorse soup to recover quickly. It is also known as nutritious for women, but in fact, it has also been used as a medicine for erectile dysfunction since ancient times and is said to have aphrodisiac effects as well. However, academia is still having controversies about the pharmacological effect of the hippocampus.
