I thought there was a yellow/pink seahorse emoji already but I guess not.

(Edit: There is another long thread that contains an image that I thought was the seahorse emoji (although apparently the seahorse emoji doesn't exist...but i thought this was it so I don't know what is going on...) https://www.reddit.com/r/Retconned/comments/1di3a1m/comment/...)

The yellow one is exactly what I pictured. This is pretty surreal for me, because it's the first time one of these Mandela Effect things applied to me personally.

Memory is a tricky thing.

Are we certain that it didn't exist though? Unicode only got emoji in 2014, after ~5 year standardization effort. There were many different, incompatible formats around for about a decade before that, plus non-emoji like Kaoani.

Perhaps there was a seahorse somewhere that never made it to Unicode.

Or maybe people are just misremembering - perhaps mistaking the emoji for a unicorn or a chess's knight piece as a seahorse.

Supposedly it was in MSN Messenger and Skype previous to Unicode Emojis.
