ok sea horse corals

[Sea~Horse~Whisperer]

Here is a list of the corals currently in the 125G that I'm converting to a sea horse only tank. ( I have already removed a few)

Tourch
X Hammer X
yellow leather
kenya tree
colt coral
ricordias
zoanthids
sinulara
X galaxia X
X bubble anemone X
mushrooms
green star polyps
pink star polyps
purple star polyps
xenia
X frogspawn X
X palyotheas X
X pagoda cup X

The ones with X's will be removed. Can I keep the rest? Will they be sea horse safe?

The only other things I have to try to remove is the hermit and emerald crabs. I will be FW dipping most of the LR to get rid of as many bristle worms as possible. Is there any other way to get rid of them? I still have about 50 lbs of LR that has never been in the reef tank. It's been cureing for 3 months now. I've been saving it for this project.
I will be selling the corals for $$ to buy 2-3 pairs of Erectus. I had planned to trade the corals to the LFS I work at for the erectus we have in stock, but I don't want them after I spent hours pulling lots of parasitic isopods off of them. I don't want to introduce them to my tanks. NO WAY. I will order them online from a source that has a very good reputation. (seahorsesource most likely unless anyone has a better idea)

Thanks, Angie

I think those would be allright, but I am not familliar with what ponies can and cannot live with.

[lReef lKeeper]

i would say that those corals should be fine with the ponies.

Your coral list looks fine with the possible exception of the torch, at least by everything we've read/heard. Only question is what are you going to do for lighting the tank to maintain the coral without sunburning your ponies?

[Sea~Horse~Whisperer]

oops, I will be taking the torch out. I just forgot to X it, lol. That one sends out l o n g "stingers" about 6-9 inches long. Worse than my galaxia.


For lighting I'm going to use VHO's or PC's. I already have 2 72" actinic blue VHO's on the reef tank. I can just add 4 72" 10000 vho lamps. Or I will / can switch out all of the lighting and go with just power compacts.

On my current 65G sh tank I have 384w PC. 2 96w act. blue and 2 96w 10k

The rest of those corals look okay. There is a list on Seahorse.org that shows compatibility of fish and corals with seahorses.
