Cooler Temperature Tanks

[connorsbala]

Hey
Ive got a seahorse tank which is kept at a constant 24 degrees celcius. What corals do well in none-reef temps? Do toadstools do okay?
Cheers

24C really isn't all that cold. I'd actually avoid shallow water softies and go towards deeper water LPS.

virtually any should be fine at 24C.

I'm sure you're aware a lot of corals can sting seahorses pretty badly.

I think your best bet though are gorgonians. Most of those available on the market are from Florida, where the water gets to be that cool regardless. A lot of them are non-photosynthetic, but if you're keeping seahorses they will eat the same food anyway. Plus, gorgonians give seahorses something to hold onto.
