seahorse and clowns

[onevia_01]

Has anybody had any experience keeping a seahorse with other fish.
clowns in particular.
I'm thinking it might be to hard to feed them.

Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

I asked that question on the seahorse forum before and they said they wouldn't do it. Reefvideos.com has someone's seahorse tank with a clown in it though.

Clowns might be a bit too aggressive of eaters for seahorses. They might outcompete the seahorses for food to the point where the seahorses starve. Even the gentler species of clowns, like the ocellaris/percs, can be ravenous eaters. If you target feed using a tube, however, you might be able to pull it off.

thats what I'm thinking as well.I've never seen how quickly one will eat so I can't imagnine if my clowns will beat them at it.
They are very hungry fish.
