Seahorses can make wonderful aquarium pets. As long as one understands that there are few other tank occupants that can be introduced into a seahorse tank, the tank needs to be a slow moving tank and decor needs to be added for anchoring. Seahorses are not strong swimmers so the tank shouldn't be too large, fast moving or lacking in anchor spots.
These wonderful animals are not a good beginner Saltwater Fish. Seahorses also will not do well in an aquarium with most other fish or with stinging invertebrates (anemones, corals). They require careful feeding and very good water quality. Read up as much as you can on keeping seahorses to be successful with them.
Buy captive-bred seahorses (rather than wild caught) both to limit disease (common in wild-caught) and to ensure that they will eat frozen foods.
it all matters on the type. some are fine to keep as pets while others aren't. it also matters on what it eats, living conditions, and if you can take care of it. If you can't meet those conditions then a sea urchin isn't a good pet for you, and it may for others. if you can do those 3 things then also research on the type you want before you buy it.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Personally, I don't think so. Some variates can be very poisonous, and they don't really do anything anyway. If you just kept it in an aquarium with some fish, sand, and tried to feed it I don't think it would be happy. I've been told that sea urchins eat algae, small fish, mussels, sponges, and brittle stars. They stun them with their sometimes colorful spines. Their mouth is located on the bottom of their body. They have almost invisible tube like feet.
