I think the answer is that this would have to develop much earlier in the evolutionary cycle, not survive as a spontaneous mutation in an already very highly-developed species.

Male seahorses carry the babies to term after they are fertilized. So eons from now, when the seahorses have larger brains, legs, self-awareness, language, use of tools, and methods for preserving history so that society can be further advanced with each generation... then Zen can ask them how that co-parenting thing is going!
