Can seaseahorses be housed with bubble corals??

like the tittle says????

I'm pretty new to the seahorse concept but everything I've read in the past few hours has said keeping them with any LPS coral is a no go.

Seahorses aren't safe with any coral that has "sweeper" tentacles such as bubble corals, frogspawns, hammers, etc.

that's right, they aren't safe. You should make a seahorse only tank, that way they aren't competing for food with fish.

No, I would go with softies only.

There are some LPS that are fairly seahorse safe, bubbles just don't happen to be one of them. Sun Corals are very safe, there are a few species of brains, as well as cynaria that are lower risk. Candy canes are also pretty safe.
