Are Leptoseris or Cyphastrea suitable tankmates for seahorses?
Any other eyecatching coral recommendations outside of the the standard mushrooms and leathers that would be OK with some horses?
 
Anything that extends feeding tentacles would sting an unsuspecting seahorse. If you want to have them, set up a separate tank. Leptoseris extends tentacles. I am not sure of Cyphstera.
 
I don't think that Leptos or Cyphastreas would be a problem in a SH tank. Their feeding tentacles are quite small, especially those of Cyphastrea. Perhaps they would be a problem if you were raising dwarf seahorses.
 
I wouldn't do leptoseris, it stings. But I have cyphastrea in my SH tank, and I've had no problems.
