Post seahorses eat what?

I have a seahorse that won't eat anything except live copopods which already exist inside the tank. Do they eat anything else? I've tried live brine, frozen brine and frozen mysis. Not a bite. Suggestions?

as far as i know indy (dont call me that) sea horses usually only eat live food that they dont have to chase down. this includes what they are eating now and live brine shrimp. they will stave and die if yor tank is too small to supply them, like mandarin gobys, or if there are too many aggressive feeders in the tank with them.
the best thing for you to do if you have enough room, is to add an intank refugium or a refugium that can be above the tank so that water flow from your refugium is by gravity, for a sump mounted underneath the tank you will have to use a pump, which will in turn kill alot of the copepods on their way thru the impellar!
they can acclimate to frozen food ive heard but its not common!

Agree.
Please check out this link about seahorses.
http://www.wyx.com/iheo/tank/seahorses.htm

You will find LOTS of info about them in links and articles, also a good link to refugiums, and some places where to buy LIVE food online. Let me add this place to the list (have to update that link above this weekend)
