In a high light tank, your seahorses will find the shadowed areas to hide in most of the time, as well as the low flow parts. SPS (especially) and seahorses do not mix well. Seahorses will produce high nutrient loads in a tank, which will usually cause SPS to brown out or RTN. The only SPS that I keep in my seahorse refugium/frag tank is Montipora digitata and those frags are right by the return from my pump & at the very top of the tank. I have lots of macroalgae and caves for the seahorses to hide in too.
