    I was recently at my friend's house and they had just gotten a new in wall collum seahorse tank. The seahorses were fascinating creatures and I couldn't but want a tank like that for my own.

    Hello, I just missed my dwarf seahorses transfering their eggs! But the male definitely has a bunch in his pouch, so many there was a string of them hanging out and he is buldging!

    Hi! I am thinking that I want to start a seahorse tank but I also want to get an anemone for my other reef tank. Is it harder to care for anemones than seahorses? I'm trying to convince my mum that I would rather have a seahorse tank. Thanks

    I was thinking about adding a seahorse to my soft coral nanocube, but am worried that there is WAY too much flow! I have two MJ 1200's, a MP10, and the sumps return.... No chance for a seahorse- right? The sump runs pretty slow, theoretically I could put one in the refugium, but then.... i...
