Yay! seahorse tank!

I have had the best success with CB ones from:

seahorse.com

or

southwatchseahorse.com

I currently have Erectus from both of these companies. Southwatch is more economical , but the Oceanriders are well worth the investment. VERY hardy seahorses. They even compete for food with other fish. I had them in my reef tank for a while, but they do bet by themselves. Beware of bristle worms, they cannot eat them. And the nucleus that the corals secrete when stressed is harmful to them if ingested. They cannot be mixed with Kuda. They have different bacteria and the Kuda is the one that will always loose the battle and pass away. You may want to connect a spray bar instead of keeping the flair nozzle on tank and even better, get a flow valve regulator attached to the line going out into tank, and decrease the flow a bit. They are active swimmers in the right water flow, otherwise they will always be a dark color (almost black) and always be hanging on to something. I have kept all kinds, and tried all kinds of setups. I have learned a lot from research, trial and error, and am more passionate about these guys than anything else in marine tanks. Let me low if you have any other questions.

Be very cautious about buying locally. There are signs you should look for in a healthy seahorse vs unhealthy.

Best wishes and success
