Will they be safe

[Echidna09]

Hey I was looking into getting a couple seahorses for my nano reef. I was wondering if they would be safe with the corals I have and I will list ones I plan on getting too.

I have -

Zoos
Hammerhead Euphillia
Mushrooms
Pipe Organ
Devils Hand
Poccillipora, Green Slimer, Granulosa
Encrusting Monti
Acan
Crocea Clam
Fire Shrimp
Emerald Crab
Hermits/Snails

I plan to get -

Another Clam
Coco Worm
various Acros
Dendrophillia
More Zoos

Please let me know if seahorses would be ok in my system and what I should stay away from (coral wise) if they will work.

Thanks

Sorry a nano won't work for a seahorse, and not all the corals and inhabitants on the list are seahorse safe. Sorry.

just to be thorough the only things on that list that arent seahorse saye are the hammer and clam

To elaborate on pledo's comment, you want at least 29 gallons for a pair of seahorses, and you'll want to keep them at temps lower than 74 degrees, without any stinging corals and without any inverts that could close on their tails (clams, crabs, etc.).

Thanks guys, it looks like I'm going to have to wait a while until I can get seahorses.
