I’m going to do a reef tank with seahorses. I’ve been in the hobby for about a year but haven’t done seahorses before... is there any species I should start with? I’ve seen dwarfs and they seem pretty cost efficient.

I’m going to do lots of different algaes, Gorgonians, sponges, zoanthids, and mushrooms. A more natural Floridian style reef tank.I've done both (in the process of setting up another large seahorse tank and still have my dwarves) and I think the dwarves require much more time and effort. But it depends on what size tank you're talking about, and what you mean by "reef tank".

Seahorses do give you a lot of joy and a stress free mind while you sit there and watch them I love my Seahorses alsoI've found hippocampus erectus to be the most "beginner friendly" seahorse. Very hardy and beautiful. You will need a minimum of 30 gallons per pair. I strongly suggest buying from a reputable breeder. Starting with strong, healthy seahorses that have been captive bred and raised will save alot of headache (and heartaches). LOVE my seahorses!
Agreed!Seahorses do give you a lot of joy and a stress free mind while you sit there and watch them I love my Seahorses also
