Seahorse in feed tank?

Can I keep a pair of seahorses in my reef tank. Its a 55g with 1 false percula, 1 lawnmower blenny. I plan on adding a pair of bicolor angles and a phew other docile oddballs.

My original plan was to try to keep them in my 20g fuge but want that space for an angler now! My girlfriend is a horse girl and would kill me if I didn't find a way to keep seahorses!! I am a big fan of predators so I really want an angler.

its not recommended..... but it is feasible.

just realized that was a way to vague answer. lol.

why you shouldnt:

1. standard reef temp is 80. way too high for horses. they will be prone to bacterial infections.

2. the tankmates seem kinda aggressive.

3. seahorses are dirty animal. dirty=more nutrients in the tank, more nutrients=bad for corals=nuisance algae
