Is the leafy thing in the picture below the jellyfish a sea horse of some type? Amazing creature, if it is a creature.

Just had a former student who graduated 30 years ago and who now lives in Atlanta drop in. Strange coincidence that I had been reading this thread shortly before he stopped by. I asked him if he had been to the aquarium, and he said that it was just too busy to get to. He's waiting until the new wears off. I'd just have to be there if I lived in Atlanta. Amazing place.
