Dwarf Seahorse?

[Baby Ray]

They were just getting into Gorgs about the time I parted. I know there's Chuck on the Org that was trying a lot of things. I forget his handle, something like cjm3fl. Anything you find out, you gotta bring the information back to us so we can know too

Will do.
I am looking at return pumps right now. It is hard finding a mag 1 return pump

Looks like the blueberry is cool water. I just don't know about flow and feeding.

It looks like it needs higher flow to keep algae off the polyps but if I had a weak light than maybe it would work. It also said it needs to be fed BBS several times a day but that wouldn't be a problem

Yea the only thing would be the flow issue. You can always spot feed it if needed. I'm sure the horses are going to make enough of a mess to require very regular wc anyway.

What about this-

Would this work for a gorgonian?-

I was thinking about maybe have a small pump underneath the gorgonian somehow to get it enough flow. I could stick the gorgonian to a rock that has a pump inside of it. It is complicated but it could work. All the success stories I have heard about blueberry gorgonians is feed them BBS a couple times a day and phyto. I can always dose phyto for the gorgonian and to help the pod population.

I was thinking a 25% water change a week because it sounds like blueberry gorgonians need A LOT of spot feeding.

Here is an idea I came up with. Maybe put a pump in the Rock the gorgonian is on to give it good flow but by the time the flow got to the horses it wouldn't be as strong. I could also put zoas or something in the rock base. (If you can tell, I am not an artist)

Couldn't they also hitch to something like this?-

Got happens to the design when the blueberry dies? Many people have tried those gorges and I'm sure even though there are some successes, they don't do well. A 5 gallon tank with low flow is not going to be their ideal environment.

It would be cool though

I think gorgonians are out of the picture. Just not enough flow or a big enough water volume.
Got to keep looking for something

 

[Baby Ray]

Maybe some type of finger leather would work. Bids nest would work but I assume the DSH would agitate it too much.

 

[Baby Ray]

Or a kenya tree

 

[Baby Ray]

Here are some corals that I think would work well,
Kenya tree
leather coral
zoas
Macro algae
Feather dusters (small ones)

CUC-
mysid shrimp
smal snails
micro brittle star
volcanic red shrimp (from Hawaii)
