you will need to manually evacuate the air.
if you don't, he will most likely die.

He's very right here. If you don't do this, your seahorse will die. If the sac doesn't rid the air you will have to continue to do this. Its a very intense process and may take a few times to do to get all the air out of his sac. Most seahorses die this way (Bubble disease). If you have any air stones OR a skimmer OR filter that creates bubbles in your tank, you must fix stop it. Or this will continue to happen to your seahorse. Seahorses are very hard to keep because of this.

Seahorse org is the best informational website for this. But if you need help here, just ask. We can walk you through the process. Be careful not to bruise the seahorses sac. Best of luck.
