Can I keep acan coral with seahorses?

Acans are in the slight risk catagory. Some seahorse keepers do not put any skeletal coral in with their ponies because of the risk of a skin abrasion that could lead to an infection. They do have a skeleton but are not an active stinging coral. I did put non stinging skeletal coral like duncans, and acans with my seahorses and never had a skin problem from it but that is not to say that it can not happen.
