Tank mates

The gorgonian did not fair well so have returned these to the shop but placed more rock in the background where the macro algae is really looking good - and I know I'll be thinning it out soon!

Ben from Amazing Amazon (Melbourne, Australia) called to say he has several subspecies of seahorses coming in this week, and had particularly ordered Hippocampus Barbouri for me. After searching the net, I am very happy with his selection.

I've also researched other compatible tank mates for Seahorses and found Firefish gobies (also known as Firetail Goby) Nemateleotris magnifica will perform well in this tank.

Patience, Patience, Patience...is the key to setting up any tank, and also read as much as you can. I found this excellent site for species compatibility for seahorses:
