I use a shot glass filled 3/4 of the way up with sand. I put it in the lowest flow area I could find (this took some tinkering) and then I put the mysis in with a turkey baster. I put some fake coral around the glass for hitching posts. It is much, much easier to clean up after them if they don't eat it all!

i took a tubaflex worn dispenser that i found at my LFS and placed it on the glass and filled it with live brineshrimp and let a small amout out around the feeder and my horses started feedind in no time. i like it because it is at the top of the tank where only the horses can feed from it

I just used a seashell and put a plant close by for them to hitch on while they ate.

seahorse06, what else do you have in with your seahorses?

I don't have a feeding station. chasing the frozen mysis in the water is more akin to their hunting of live food in the wild. Never had a problem.
