Seahorse question

[flapjack1439]

I have a I'm just finishing transferring everything from 24 nano to my 58. I was considering keeping seahorses in the 24. I have no experience with them at all. How difficult are they and any special considerations for the 24? Is any one species better / easier than another? How about coral with them.

You should make sure you get captive bred from a reputable breeder/store. SPS corals such as acros are not suitable as tankmates, but you can keep mushrooms, zoos, gorgonians, and others that don't sting. They need plenty of "branches" to hang on to.
Temperature is also a concern, for seahorses, you want to keep the temp in the low 70's.
Go over to the seahorse/pipefish forum, they have plenty of info over there....or seahorse.org
