I am considering adding live amphipods to my semispinosus tank. My concern is if they will bother the seahorses at night. Does anybody have an amphipod/seahorse setup?
 
No, they won't bother the seahorses...more like the other way around! I'm sure you know seahorses eat them, and having them in a tank is definitely beneficial in multiple ways.
 
For a bit, before pipes, I saw quite a few of them. Now just the occasional big one free swimming around feeding time - I think they hide out of sight most of the time.

I've got pod culturing going (and constantly add them to my tank) but not amphipods, though my tank came seeded with them.
