Agreeing with what Bev said, if there is a better alternative, it should be taken. I am assuming by "sustainable collection" we are talking about something overseen by MAC. Frankly, there have been enough attacks on MACs practices, both from hobbyists and industry experts, to warrant serious doubt as to how effective/honest their certification procedures are. I am also assuming that regardless of whether MAC is involved or not, these seahorses are coming from Indonesia or the Phillipines, an area where they are already rare. If they are being sourced from Australia, I suppose it would be a different story.
