Default LF: Artificial Coral or hitching posts

My husband and I recently got a couple seahorses. The tank has live rock and live sand, but our seahorses seem to have faded and after researching think that maybe they would be happier with some color as they like to camouflage with their surroundings.

Eventually we would like to find proper lighting (T5, MH, or Power Compact) but it's difficult to find in 20" fixtures. When we get some form of higher watt lighting, we will get some macro algae, but until then we are looking for some realistic looking coral, or any ideas on some more hitching posts that would add some color to our tank and therefore make our ponies a little happier


thanks in advance.

Hmmm I have also been looking for the same as I am considering switching one my tanks to a SH tank. I have been to several pet stores that have some plastic fake coral in vibrant colors...betcha some of the sponsors with stores may carry something like you're looking for. And...google it, there are TONS of places to get it.....good luck. Let me know if you get any...and if it enhances their color!

Oh yah, some of the gorgs work well just for hitching......too bad you weren't closer and I'd give you a piece of one I am growing that does VERY well in all conditions and doesn't need a ton of light food etc.
