I just recently added a small sea horse to my 24g nano and it's doing fantastic despite everyone telling me I would have a hard time caring for it. He's actively going after mysis shrimp during feeding and none of my other fish seem to bother him.
Anyhow, I recently came across a marine fish related to the sea horse called sea dragons. So far i've encountered the leafy sea dragon and the weedy sea dragon, both of them look awesome from the pictues I've seen online.

Does anybody know if these sea dragons can be commercially kept, and if so, what size tank would be required? On Wikipedia, they are listed as "Near Threatened" which is almost the least concern on the endangered species scale. If anyone could provide some info on keeping these guys, I'd love to learn more if possible.
