they are extremly hard to keep and I wouldn't advise them keeping until you have quite a few years experience under your belt with difficult tropicels, moderatly difficult marine fish

They're not that hard to keep...most of the CB ones aren't too bad, the thing is, they need their own little setup with very sensative filtration, as these are not strong swimmers they (and their food) tend to get blown around too much for them to get it.
Some species, like Brazilian Yellow Seahorse (Reidi hippocampus) are mostly always CB and are more "moderate/intermediate" then extreme. However, if you've never kept SW i wouldnt advise you start with SH's, although a year or so on you'll have the basic knowledge to. Most are reef compatable, too. James

they are very hard to keep, ive had a few years exp of keeping marine fish and corals but wouldnt try keeping seahorses yet, as you have to make sure there always feeding, and your water flow isnt to quick, i have a friend whos got his own marine shop hes got seahorses and they are stunning

they aren't too hard. You need to keep your water conditions pristine. decent filtration, constant water chemistry (no fluctuating pH etc)
plenty of food. preferably a permanent food source, if not possible then regular feedings throughout the day
