I also use an acrylic tube to direct the mysis down to a small glass jelly jar. I have a few hitches around the jelly jar and as soon as the seahorses see the tube in the tank they know mysis is coming to the jelly jar.

Ok, this should be a pic of my big female at the jelly jar.

I have never actually kept one but since christmas tree rock are similar to feather dusters and other fan worms I would say that they are alright with seahorses. My one caution would be if you have to heavily feed them as that could degrade the water so that the seahorses would be prone to bacterial infections.
