Yes, you can. Your water has to be "Saltwater" though. It can't be freshwater or else your sea horse will die. There's specific pet shops or fish shops that sell sea horses! I never thought you can own one but it's possible. My local fish shop specialist said, seahorses require good care and ONLY saltwater, and it gets along with a FEW fish. So if you decide to purchase a sea horse, look into what kind of fish it gets along with. I hope this helps you out.

If the sea shells have been thoroughly cleaned by being left in boiling water for at least five minutes, then they should be sterile. Sea shells are safe for aquariums but if you have any fish that are extremely sensitive to pH levels, you may want to reconsider. The shells will release trace amounts of calcium carbonate into the water that will possibly raise the pH. For the most part, it is perfectly safe. I have several in my 55 gallon and have never had any trouble.
