Check out seahorse.org
Please carefully research and consider long and hard before attempting seahorses. They have very specific needs.

PLEASE thouroughly research seahorses before you decide to get one. Go to Seahorse.org for the best info.
Generally, seahorses should be kept in a species-only tank because they are very slow eaters & require a specialized diet. They will usually starve to death if kept with ANY aggressive eaters. SOME inverts, gobies & mandarins are OKAY WITH CAUTION.
Again, make sure you do extensive research & take advice only from reliable sources who are knowledgeable of SH!

Ive been told that you should only have a saltwater tank if it is 30 gallons or more so my opinion is to get a bigger tank before trying with seahorse.:happyfish

Nope- unless you have a large (55 or so) gallong fuge full of liverock to feed the 20 gal display- the mandarin will starve- mabye not at first but as the grow, they eat more and it would clear out that tank of all its pods
