I would respectfully urge you to reconsider. Dwarf seahorses really need a species focused tank. dwarf seahorses and most corals are generally not compatible because:
  • Corals need chaotic, widespread flow for health and growth. Seahorses need extremely gentle flow.
  • Many corals, especially LPS corals, have stinging tentacles which may harm or kill the horses.
  • Seahorses like to grab and hang onto things. Corals do not like things hanging on them, and may also sting and harm the horses.
We are with you on that. We were infected by hydroids and planaria. We're kinda making it a reefer and we have acquired another tank for the dwarfs. It will be predominantly dwarf, but with a cuc and a few sexy shrimp.

Our first concern is their well-being and happiness. Dsh are what brought us to the aqua world and we can't wait to get them but we won't until we know and have what they need to thrive. Plus we are just 5 months in,so we're learning as we go. Your concern is appreciated as well as your advice.

btw, if you need more frag racks in the future, just make your own for cheap ;) here's a mini photo guide from my tank thread if you are interested...

The super glue holds the feet well/strong?

I just ordered some egg crate because I have 30 or so corals on my sand, and I'm vacuuming cyano every other day, and moving them one by one to the other side of the tank stinks!
