They're so beautiful. Do you feed them brine shrimp? I've heard they're heavy feeders. The owner of a local marine aquarium shop once told me that if you raise seahorses then you must also raise copius amounts of brine shrimp just to keep the little guys fed. He also mentioned turning off the filtration system during feed time so the shrimp wouldn't get sucked up before they could be devoured.
My home is about 35 minutes North of Sebastian Inlet on the East Coast of Central Florida. Years ago, my family went to a camping facility very near Sebastian. We took a 2 person sein net with us. We drug our net through the shallows catching and releasing seahorses, sea dragons and a variety of juvenile sea creatures. That was a wonderful day.
