[tomini tang]

great write up and i am seriously tempted to try it out in my office....however, a few questions....
1) what is the temperate range of the sea horse like? my office tank can get quite cold to below 25 degress...would they be able to take it?
2) Would a bare bottom tank work for them to?
3) I already have a single demsel in the tank. Would they cause problem for the horses?

Yo bro Terryz- New tank in the making..... thinking how to do the rock scape now.... very soon will post pics!

Hi bro Lester and tomini tang, Temp around 24-29'c max be good for local Seahorse like kuda, tigertails, hedgehog, barbouri and rare reidi) most will prefer 25-28'c. bare bottom can do for SH tanks.... easy to maintain... actually better.. bro tomini tang, best to take the damsel out.... he would snatch most of the horses food, and the too active and fast movement of the damsel might scared the SH, can go for mandarins, blennys and small gobies as tank mates.

Bro Doyle, Yap! u can train the SH to take food from a Feeding Station, like what u said , during meal time, u see them machiam like doggies rushing to food bowl!


more article be pin up, like breeding sh and raising fries, tankmates, frozen training, some SH diy thingy, in the coming days... Stay tuned

Some of the soft corals that generally do well with seahorses in a low/moderate light, low/moderate flow reef tank with PC lighting are listed below:

Flower Tree Coral - Red / Orange, (Scleronephthya spp.)
aka: Scleronephthya Strawberry Coral, or Pink or Orange Cauliflower Coral
Christmas Tree Coral (Sphaerella spp.)
aka: the Medusa Coral, Snake Locks Coral, or French Tickler
Cauliflower Colt Coral (Cladiella sp.)
aka: Colt Coral, Soft Finger Leather Coral, Seaman's Hands or Blushing Coral.
Toadstool Mushroom Leather Coral (Sarcophyton sp.)
aka: Sarcophyton Coral, Mushroom, Leather, or Trough Corals.
Bullseye Mushroom Coral (Rhodactis inchoata)
aka: Tonga Blue Mushroom, Small Elephant Ear Mushroom (rarely)
Clove Polyps (Clavularia sp.)
Stick Polyp (Parazoanthus swiftii)
Green Daisy Polyps (Clavularia sp.), Indonesia
Orange & Green Colony Button Polyps (Zooanthus sp.), Fiji

Other low light corals that should be suitable include genera such as Cynarina, Scolymia and Trachyphyllia, as well as non-photosynthetic gorgonians such as Subergorgia and Didogorgia, and perhaps wire corals such as Cirripathes spp.. However, supplemental feedings of zooplankton may be required to maintain these corals in good health.
The small polyped stony (SPS) corals generally have weak stings that should not pose a threat to seahorses. Depending on conditions in the tank, SPS corals such as Acropora, Montipora, Pocillipora, Porities, Seriatopora and Stylophora can be tried at your discretion.

Common Toadstool
a good coral for housing or feeding station....
