Corals dividing tank

[M3AN ONE]

Just curious has anyone used corals to completly divide 2 sections of there tank to house two types of fish a the same tank.
example sea horses and preditory fish?

Never seen it done with corals... though I have seen it done with a combo of a black plastic mesh or "egg crate" and live rock... The problem with using coral to devide a tank is the coral would have to be fairly branchy and go all the way to the top of the water column to keep the preds from getting through. That and a good number of predator fish also eat or pick at corals. IF I were to do this, I would do it with a mesh of some sort as the physical berrier, then use corals/rocks to hide it, having seahorses on one side, and larger reef safe fish on the other.

Do you know where i could go to see a picture of exactly what you described? That sound like what i want to do.

I can't think of anywhere off the top of my head to see it... but I have a look around and if I find anything I'll post a link.
