I am just starting my first seahorse tank and wondering if anyone knows what corals go well in a seahorse tank and which ones do not?

Check out the "Tankmates Guide" link at the bottom of "My Thoughts on Seahorse Keeping"
Basically, non stinging corals that are also adept at surviving in the cooler temperatures of 68° to 74° that work best for seahorses.

Gorgonians, sponges, zoanthids, and soft corals are all great choices. My tank has 10 different species of gorgonians, a bunch of sponges, Florida ricordea, ricordea yuma, assorted mushrooms, macro algaes, toadstool leathers, zoas, clove polyps, and a fiji leather. This is a great link that assesses the different risk levels of corals and other tank mates with seahorses:
