I don't know, I think certain species of octopus and seahorses may be able to go together. Do any of you really know for sure?? Or do you just enjoy being closed minded? I got the exact same response when I inquired about seahorses and other predators but....
 Dwarf octopuses are nocturnal and prey on mollusks and crustaceans and stay small at a size around 4". Somehow I don't see such a creature going after a full grown seahorse. I don't know for sure but at least I'm making that clear.

You'll have to be careful about species selection, if you're just planning on finding a couple creatures and throwing them in a tank together then I would agree with the others. You have to do proper research if you're going to try these two as tank mates, and no this doesn't count as research.
Don't get me wrong, I'm saying this may be possible but to pull it off it will take someone with experience with both octopuses and seahorses. For example if you want to find out if something is poisonous do you drink it?

thanks again
thats why i was wondering if they would get along or if any one has these guys in a tank together because red deer reptile told me it was ok and it kinda scares me !!!!! they would look cool together but not cool if the octopus thinks of them as lunch.
