On the contrary, I think that having some creatures with less color makes it better.
Too many colors, and you start to have a tank that looks like a box of crayons got mixed up in the gene pool somewhere.
In design, a tool in the palette along with color is texture. I can't think of too many other creatures with more texture than a seahorse, and they are very interesting to watch.
