Seahorse aquascaping ideas please

[drago_6999]

We are son going to turn our 29g biocube to a seahorse bare bottom tank. Id sure love some pics for ideas on how to scape this thing in a seahorse friendly way. And also ideas for the corals that seahorses use to tether to.

Gorgonian corals seem to work well for seahorses - I've seen people use those plastic chains they sell for parrots to play with as well.

@vlangel knows seahorses well, and may have some inspirations for you.

Macroalgae is great for seahorses. Also, gorgonians are another good option.

With corals, you will have to be careful. Many corals do not thrive under the same conditions that seahorses do. Seahorses are messy eaters and it can be challenging to maintain the optimal water parameters for the corals. Also, seahorses thrive when the water is cooler (no higher than 74). Then, you have to worry about the corals stinging seahorses.

Thanks for the replies. By corals i meant those that look more like plants, the Gorgonian types.

Here is a link to my seahorse tank that was bb. It had safe coral like gorgs, palys, zoas, mushrooms and also macro algae.
