seahorse in reef tank?

[mechslave]

i know seahorses can't be kept with fish for the most part.. has anyone found a breed or species of sea horse that can, or had any success keeping the two together... a larger seahorse or something? Anyone tried?

You can have some corals in a seahorse specific tank, I have mushrooms, sponge,gorgonians, xenia,zoos and Kenya trees in mine. These corals dont require halides or very much flow at all so they are fine with the seahorses. A tall tank is required and you can put small docile fish in there. I have chromis and gobies in mine just a few though because the seahorses eat very slow and would starve with faster fish around. Carrie

but dont seahorses "graze" for food all day long??
so if you over feed the tank and there is enough food laying around all over the live rock and sand.... then it shouldnt be a problem should it?
