Would a black sailfin blenny be good with a seahorse?

Well first of all, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Otherwise, our tanks would probably all look the same.
Stinging corals are a problem with seahorses and so it's important to keep the TANKMATES GUIDE in mind when planning your seahorse tank.
Keep in mind also, the requirements needed for your tankmates selection as some don't handle lower temperatures or need extremely high lighting which can cause temperature issues.
Some of us don't keep tankmates of any kind, or at least keep it very minimal as the fewer tankmates, the less the chances of introducing pathogens that can affect your seahorses. I don't even keep live plants myself.
Anything you can do to minimalize problems increases your chances of success. Even doing all that you can does not guarantee success though so keep that in mind.
You have to be more diligent about everything especially husbandry to give yourself the best chances.

I agree generally that tankmates tend to be a bad idea with seahorses. I have only ever kept them on their own or with pipefishes (although I don't even recommend this - because pipefish are usually WC and its best to get CB seahorses, so you run into cross contamination of diseases).

That being said, a dragonet/scoot blenny is probably one of the best choices as far as fish go, since they are usually very passive and shy.

I have kept mushroom corals and gorgonians with ponies... but I would suggest planning an aquarium firstly around the seahorses & their hitches. Get that tank up and running, get your ponies happy & healthy, and worry about other things later.

Really you should have 2 tanks, one for ponies and one for corals & fish.

(Or do like us when we had 1 seahorse, 2 reef, 1 fish-only, 1 coldwater, and 1 african cichlid )
