You don't want to keep SH's with amemones and stinging corals.

I would not keep seahorse with corals due to the sensitivity of the seahorse. Just for me to keep them in a tank by themselves and some hermit crabs has turned out to be harder than most expect. Corals have stinging cells and not enough to usualy kill a fish but when a seahorse latches on to it and it starts stinging it can stress the seahorse to the point of death. Anemones are a definite no no. They will not only sting the seahorse to death but may eat them due to their slow nature.

I agree with all of the above. Seahorses will hitch on corals and get stung.
