Hi Schism,
I understand your concern.
I took it home because it was not eating in the local fish store.
This seahorse is wild caught to make things more difficult.
I would never say this should be an addition to a reef, in fact as I said in one of my earlier posts.
I know my tank is not the perfect place for a seahorse, this one does eat the pods though.
I got lucky and so did the seahorse for the time being.
