Seahorse tank

I want to turn my bio cube into a seahorse tank, but you don't really see them kept with like corals or reef tanks.. I want to get rid of all my mushrooms star polyps and what not but could I keep some in with a bubble coral and torch coral?

 

Not advised. Euphylia have potent stings. Check out seahorse tank mates by will wooten and do some more research on seahorse.org
They have tons of useful info on keeping them

 

Ah I see thats why. cool beans thanks

 

Are chocolate chip starfish okay?

 

Nope sorry
First they can get over a foot wide, and second I hear they can be very difficult to keep healthy

What kind of starfish would be okay. What is the best starfish in this hobby to get that will live and not starve over time..

 

Easiest is prolly serpent star, but they are capable of catching small, slow moving animals... Like sea horses

 

ehh I dont like those... or the brittles... starfish are amazing and the reason I got into this hobby but they are so difficult..

 

May I suggest sexy shrimp for a nice invert...they are actually very cool

Yeah, seahorses are pretty limiting, as I'm finding out!

First thing is temperature, which needs to be kept in the lower 70's. Nothing stingy or grabby, eliminates crabs, many fish, and most categories of coral, and leaves mostly just soft corals. Nothing fast or hungry, which eliminates most fish.

But that still leaves a lot of kinds of coral, quite a few fish, and snails....
