OK coral gurus,

I'm setting up a 5 gallon dwarf seahorse tank and am trying to figure out what I can put in with it. Dwarfs are very small, sensitive, and vulnerable. Here are the conditions:

20watt 50/50 PC bulb
low-moderate current
PH - 8.2
SG - 1.020
Modified bio-wheel filter

will be feeding bbs daily, so anything that's happy eating that would be good. Also, anything that the seahorses can safely hitch on would be good, too. What coral sound good to you in these conditions?

I would guess sea fans and maybe some Zoos or some Corallimorphs...they seem colourful and are ok with sea horses.

I would only use fake sea fans/ gorgonians, or tonga branch live rock for them to hold onto. If you use live sea fans, or gorgonians, the seahorses will eventually kill them from holding onto them.

With that being said, anything that is low growing like zoanthids, or mushrooms would be fine with the dwarf SH's.
