Public Aquarium Guide to Syngnathids?

[ichthyogeek]

Not that I'll ever be able to keep any, but I was looking at weedy and leafy sea dragons. This made me curious about how public aquaria take care of their syngnathids and if there's like, a guide or something that they reference. I know that there's a guide for large predators in zoos (lions, bears, etc.), so is there a guide to captive care and breeding of syngnathids?

@Jay Hemdal , you're the only public aquarium person I know of, so tagging you with hopes of knowing if there's such a guide.

You know about Drum and Croaker, right? That's the public aquarium journal and that is all online now as well:

Started reading the manual and already learned about a variation of a feeding technique. Thank you.
