Dwarfs I'v got some questions.

I'm looking to do a dwarf tank,
I was wondering a few things;
What colors do they come in? I often see them in white and grey
but if I got a few I would like to be able to tell them apart.
this is for a 3 gallon tank, I'v got a design that I'm working on drawing
but I would like to keep some small lps frags and maybe and pink birds nest as a center piece
in this tank as a "Hitching post" is that at all possible?
I have kept corals smaller tanks just wondering if this is viable for the seahorse tank.
how small are they actually? I have heard 1.5 - 2 inches max, but I'v having a hard time seeing how small they actually are, if some one could post a picture with something to show scale it would be much appreciated.
I also read about hydroids being common on the baby brine shrimp,
is there any way to rid them? or clean the eggs before hatching so that this is not a problem?
any articles provided would be very help full,
I'm looking to learn as much about these tiny creatures before beginning.
thanks in advance,
Kyle
 
Another question,
is there any other species of horses that I would be able to keep in such a small tank?
I often hear "Pygmy" and these seem to be much more interesting looking, are they possible to obtain and keep successfully?
I don't plan to do much for aquascape I like the open look, just coral if possible, but plenty of "Hitching posts"

As well, most have jobs and can't be online all the time.
The only part I can help with is the cleansing of brine shrimp cysts.
You can soak the cysts for an hour in 1L of water with a tablespoon of bleach added. Also, you can decapp the cysts.

I feel as if I am after aggravating you.
I have plenty of patience, I am just very excited as I am very interested in keeping these animals.
and thank you, I would have figured bleach would have "killed" the eggs.
