Tankmates and Seahorse Fry

I have found a lot of useful information on these forums, including information on safe tankmates for seahorses, but I have a question.
Are there any tankmates that will typically be very peaceful to the adult seahorses but that would eat seahorse fry? I've read that some cleaner shrimp will eat the fry but be good tankmates to the adults. Has anyone had experience with that?

Are you referring to when the fry are born, or trying to raise them with the adults. Lrg seahorse fry should be removed asap and reared in a separate sterile tank. Most set up rearing tanks before fry are born, and even move the expecting male to either a breeders net or fry tanks the last few days before fry are to be born.
all tank mates will eat fry, even some adults mistake fry for food.
