Any anemone is NOT at all a good tank mate for seahorses. Neither are Clownfish. Any stinging coral will need to be removed as well. Here's a couple of great forums, dedicated to seahorses, with a wealth of great information. They both have "stickies" with lists of acceptable tank mates for seahorses.

We will be adding seahorses to our 30-gallon softie tank in a couple of months. We are being careful to only have creatures in the tank that are compatible with them.

Seahorse.org is the best comprehensive online resource for info. There, for example, you will see that seahorses need a lower temperature than reef tanks, need less intense lighting, and also need lower currents in the tank. There's lots of other good info there, too.
