Based on the description provided, you are most likely a seahorse. Seahorses have a unique body structure where they are covered with bony plates instead of scales. Although they are fish, seahorses have a different reproductive behavior compared to other fish – the males are the ones who care for the young. After mating, the female transfers her eggs into the male's pouch, where he incubates them until they hatch.
Seahorses can swim, but they are not strong swimmers like some other fish. Instead, they often prefer to cling onto vegetation or other objects using their prehensile tail and let ocean currents carry them. Lastly, seahorses are known for their distinctive appearance which somewhat resembles a land animal, particularly a horse, hence their name "seahorse".
