If it is algae, I've had that happen before too & it never hurt the seahorse. A lawnmower blenny will suck down stuff like that but the seahorses really hate that kinda loving attention The main reason my 4" blenny is in exile in the 20g.

My H. whitei would get algae on their backs. I gently blew it off with a turkey baster. Make sure you do it when you first notice the algae, otherwise it might be hard to get off.
