Turbo sails, astrea snails, naussarius snails, and trocherus snails (spelling?) are all good. I'd definetly go with at least 3 naussarius sails, and then a mix of the rest. I'd start with 10 total snails and work your way up from there if need be.
The only crab I turst is a scarlet reef hermit. Have had problems in my system with seahorses and emerald crabs. I thought they would be fine and they were for a bit but then, not so good.
I also like a pair of peppermint shrimp.
Do you have your rock and everything in there yet?
Pics? |

It looks really nice, they will love the rockwork, yes get rid of the anemone, and watch the crabs. They may grab at the ponies tails

If You want crabs , get the tiny Blue or red legs, They are really small alot of times, You don't really need them

The only shrimp I like for horses are the peppermint shrimp. Cleaners and Blood or fire shrimp can harass IME and cause stress.
Tank looking good. nice work keeper. |

thanks guys...
i dont need to have crabs...just making sure i have the "perfect" for the seahorses...
oh i forgot to tell you guys.. i seen the cutest most smallest pipefish in.
the pet store can get them in..but there not to big around here so he will order about 10 in.... but takes him a couple months to sell him. i mentioned i might be interested in pipefish and he goes i can get them in and sell them to you for a good price.. well im not no where near ready for them...but the darn thing was so cute..it was at most 2 inches long..very cool.

No chocolate chip stars in the tank with your seahorses. They can't be trusted. But any of the algae you mentioned will work,
