What are your water perimeters?

What have they been eating while they have been with you?
Where did you get them
what kind are they - wild caught - tank breed -
were they in a tank with other seahorses?

How long have they gone with out food?

My best suggestion without more info is that you get a hold of some live brine and gut load it with selcon and see if they will eat that.

If you can't get them to eat live brine you need to google tube feeding seahorses. I have read about it but never done it .

They can starve fairly quickly so you will want to act fast.

I also suggest you get your water temp to between 72-74 degrees if it isn't there already.

If your seahorse won't eat brine shrimp, you may need to get some live mysis. If you're lucky, you might find an LFS has them in a sump or live rock tank. Not so lucky and you might have to overnight them.
