Agreed. Mine is extremely peaceful, and normally slow moving and eating.
If something startles him though, he's gone like lightning. I normally
keep him separate from my more agressive-feeding fish to make sure that
he does get some food before its all gone. I haven't had any problem
with pellet or flake food or even frozen. Seems to love it all,
including mysid shrimp.

You need to buy special food, like frozen mysid shrimp, otherwise he might
not eat at all and starve to death.

Luckily the rest of my fish LOVE the mysid shrimp. I treat them to it
once or twice a week. My local shop has some tank-bred seahorses that
I've throught about getting that just get fed regular Spectrum pellet food.

I have to say, I'm not sure I believe this. How long have they kept a
seahorse alive on pellet food? What is the species of the seahorse?
Does the tank have live rock?

This is so unusual as to be unlikely to be true.

I may be mistaken about the pellet food vs another type. Its been a
while since I was looking at em.

I was very peaceful, and often slow-moving and eating. If something disturbed him, although he has gone, like lightning. I usually let him out of my more aggressive, feeding fish, to ensure that he will not get some food before are gone. I do not have any problems, particle or flake food or frozen. Seems to love it all, including Mysis.
