i have had a tank of sea horses for about a year. recently added a bubble coral about two months ago. have noticed several (hundreds) tiny clear things moving (swimming)
in the water, they sometimes rest on the sides of the tank.. could it be baby jelly fish and is it dangerous for the horses??

They could be hydroid jellyfish. I have a close up pic of one on my glass, but when they are swimming, all the tenticles are flowing behind the head. If they do sting your horses, you may not even notice. I have had them for a long time and although I do not have horses, my fish have shown no signs of stress. Here's my blown up pic...

They are not babies, they stay extremely small. About the size of a grain of sand is it's body.

i do not think bubble corals are ok to have in a tank with seahorses. At night, the buble "deflates" it's bubbles, and allows it's now elongated tentacles to sweep the water, looking for food. It will most likely sting the seahorses, and seahorses being so sensative may not survive...
Sorry, but i don't know about jellyfish...
