sounds like it was wild then you can try introducing frozen mysis with the live food and hope she starts to eat some and slowly wean of the live . as a diet of just brine is not sufficient for them nice treat but not enough nutrition.
tell us about your tank set up . how big tank mates ect.

here is a little info on your red sponge you may want to move it out of the sand. this is also the likely source of your seahorse as they are real close to you.

I have a 55g two year Tank Two small clowns one flame angel a Cleaner Shrimp and Blood Shrimp, live rock live sand and one tree sponge that I got for Seahorse. I separated the tank with plexy glass and made holes on it because my clowns eat everything before it hits the sand. Lights Deep Blue Solarmax T5, Marineland Penguin Filter 350, Coral Life Hang -on Skimmer for 125g, hoping to upgrade soon to bigger tank

Is this a Purple Ribbon Gorgonia LFS gave it to me for Seahorse to use?
I read they are not safe for Seahorse?

It appears to be an H. reidi, a Caribbean seahorse, sometimes called 'Longsnout Seahorse" to distinguish them from H. erectus. This becomes clear if you compare the two. The ranges of the two species overlap. Reidi are found in water somewhat warmer than erectus. Plenty of info about reidi on line. I'm not sure about the ID. Knowing the origin of a seahorse is often an important element in identification.
