    Hopefully you are talking H. zosterae, dwarf seahorses as a pair of standards need at least 29g.

    Picked up a corky finger from another hobbyist today. Got a great deal on it, although I may need to cut back a few areas.

    They are starting to explore the tank more. Right now this guy is actually wrapped around GSP.

    New fan growing quickly. Looks almost like a Monti.

    Be watchful, some hairy mushrooms have quite a sting and can be problematic to seahorses.

    Thanks everyone!

    So far just 1/2 cube of Hikari mysis or PE mysis twice per day. I have several other frozen foods that I will try throughout the week.

    There is also a yellow watchman goby in the tank who picks up the scraps.

    RayJay - the seahorses seem to be changing color. The black one looks much "paler" now. Both are eating well and pursuing food. I think the change in color may be due to the intense LED lighting. What do you think?
