Are seahorses reef safe?

seahorses have to be in a tank by them self, as far as i know they are reef safe though.

Yes this is true.. They are reef safe however they require minimal flow as they cannot swim all that well.. They need to be kept in a species only tank with alot of Macro algae that they can grab on to.. They are not great eaters so anything that is going to compete with them for food is out of the questions..

Randy - I have a 40 tank established and ready for seahorses. Live sand bed, liverock, halimeda, caulerpa, & a Berlin skimmer should keep them all happy. I have frozen mysis and am raising my own brine shrimp on phytoplankton.
Please contact me about those seahorses. Would you either answer pm, e-mail me, or call me at home 503-968-8106 or at work at Thriving Discus 503-671-9933. Thanks

You are correct on this.. they can be kept together as well.. Been thinking about a few for my 29g tank but havent decided as of yet..
