HMMMM, I have never kept seahorses or pipefish, I really don't know to much at all about them except they need low flow and are slow swimmers.
But I do know that if you don't keep the serpant stars fat and well fed, they will hunt for food. And a slow swimming tasty morsel is an easy catch.
Have you been feeding them?

That is a lobophilia. I have had it about three years and it's doubled in size.:joy:

It looks awsome. I got this polyp the other day that I have never seen before. It is similar in color to your lobo, but the LFS called it Yemen Rock. Have you ever heard of it? I t was normally $80.00 for like three polyps, but I got a really good deal on it. I wish I had a camera so I could show pics.
