Ok so i think i have found the route i want to go with my tank...i have an arrowhead crab, and emerald crab, a clown pair, and some snails and hermits and one condy anemone...after i set up my sump and fuge im going to add corals and a bunch more rock then i want to put seahorses and pipefish, but beforw i go this route would the seahorses and pipefish be safe in the tank with the inhabitants that i have already?

What size tank?

Overall, I would suggest that those 2 would be better in a species only tank.

FYI -- the arrowhead crab will most likely go after your corals.

Its a 65 gallon and ive heard many mixed things about the arrowhead, i only got him to keep my bristle worm population under control because they are starting to over populate, i would have gotten a six line but i heard they wont eat bristle worms over 4 inches in length

IMO/E, the worms are a good part of the CUC, if you have too many of feed less, or just let the population find the carrying capacity of your tank.

Whay would feeding less do? I dont mind the worm i just dont want an overpopulation of them

The Arrow Crab is a bad idea with seahorses....they can and have killed horses before. Also, you will need to provide a chiller for seahorses or some way to ensure a steady 72 degree water temp. Many corals grow much slower under these conditions, tho I can be done. Perc and Amph. clowns may be ok with horses, but only if the main conditions for the horses are met. I usually tell people who are starting seahorses to do a species tank only. And don't mix captive bred horses with wild caught pipefish....the wc pipes may transmit diseases to the cb horses.

NO!! Especially with a Condy and an Arrow Crab?!!
