Seahorses in the wild use their curly, prehensile tail to hold onto seagrasses or coral. They then suck plankton and small crustaceans (like brine shrimp) in through their snout. Like the mammal horse, they graze almost constantly and will eat up to 3,000 brine shrimp per day.
If you have a captive one in a saltwater tank (which is unlikely as they are difficult to keep and many types are regulated species in worldwide), brine shrimp alone is not an adequate diet for them. They are picky eaters, but also are very wide variety of specialized foods.

Do sharks eat seahorses?
probably, by accident. That's actually correct. Sharks have a tendency to chew on and swallow most anything, even if it's not by any means food. Seahorses could fit into this category (and into the shark). However, seahorses are not part of the shark's food chain, and thus are not really prey for the shark. No.
Do seahorses live in the middle of the ocean yes or no?
No, Seahorses live in shallow coral reefs near to the shore. They hold on to the coral and sea plants with their tail to camoflage themselves and ambush their prey. Seahorses are very slow swimmers. The middle of the ocean would be way too deep for them!
