Zebra Seahorse Info

[Shining_Darkness]

First, the Stalactite Cave entry is misleading, yes it can spawn in there but I never found it there. It actually spawns in the 50-130 zone most commonly near the shipwreck (the one you can enter).

I have found a grand total of 2, both were not inside the cave but on a map in which the cave spawned and the ceiling near the wreck was very close to wreck while also being just outside the cave.

It is a seahorse that stays near ceilings (so that should narrow your search a bit, you can stop looking at the bottom).

This may or may not be a bug that it doesn't (always) spawn where it says it is supposed to be. People have certainly found it in the cave but not me. I was quite surprised to find it outside the cave. Like many seahorses the sprite doesn't actually look like card, not striped it is just flat grey and looks similar to the non-rare sprites of the other seahorses found in that area so just capture every seahorse you see since it apparently doesn't just spawn where the card says it spawns.

Hope that helps. I know many people are only missing that one seahorse or the one that spawns in the wreck, the tiger-tail, and not at the listed depth (again, the cards lying to us).

Thanks for sharing... had been refreshing the Stalactite Cave for a few hours now and nothing, I found your post by chance and got the Zebra Seahorse on my second refresh after that, it was exactly where you said.

Glad it helped, I had been doing the same as you then suddenly just found it in decidedly NOT the cave so I figured the info may be relevant (at least until the devs who are genuinely pretty good at patching this sort of thing correct what is probably a spawning error).

Thanks for the confirmation that this wasn't just a my save thing.

I'm happy to have found this post but I've spent the last two hours looking for this seahorse and can't find it anywhere. I have found over fifty Dwarf, Spiny and Hedgehog seahorses and not a single Zebra, I'm about to give up.

Just keep at it. (I highly recommend cheating a bit to edit your swim speed just to speed it up unless you feel like waiting for them to patch this)

Don't know if this was just a me thing, but when I was looking for it I got a map that had the records chamber inside the stalactite cave. Going in and out of the records chamber would refresh the stalactite cave which saved me time from having to go back to the boat and hoping to get another map with the stalactite cave.

yeah this happens from time to time with the entrances to various places. Don't know what causes it. One day it reset all the fish including sharks.

I couldn’t find mine in the cave I ended up finding it a bit farther up on the left side (shipwreck side)

Yup, that is where I said it seems to spawn far more frequently than actually inside the cave.

I found mine at the bottom of the cave at the right site on a Copper Ore.
but still needet like 10 days to find it.
Just make shure its a Map with the real Stalactite Cave, where the grape Algea grows.

I finally found one today. It was on the map where the stalactite cave appeared, but it was near the bottom of the shipwreck, not near the ceiling above it. And it only appeared after I went inside the shipwreck to collect crabs. I know because I was collecting seahorses on my way, already collected the one there, and when I saw one reappear once I came back, decided to grab it again and got the surprise notification that it was the last seahorse I needed.

Good info. Clearly its spawn is just bugged. And yeah, they look exactly like the dwarf seahorses that spawn all over the place at that depth, at least the pick-up sprite does.

Right. There's no obvious "stripes" or maybe it's too small to show them. And I haven't seen another one since.

Adding this for the next poor soul that comes here from a google search: Just found one of them in the shipwreck cave (where you fought the squid), at the bottom and close to where that silver bowl tends to spawn.

[Ribeyyyyyyeeee]

Necro but thank you for this post! I found it immediately after reading this.
