I am specially designing my reef tank to accommodate seahorses. I am wondering if blue chromises are a peaceful fish that wont bother them, or a more aggressive fish. As I can only accommodate 1 or 2 aggressive fish in this 90 gallon tank, any information would be of great help.
 
IME chromis are not aggressive to others just themselves. I started with 15 and now have 8!!!

Saying that, seahorses make perfect companions for pipefish and mandarins etc, you might want to take a look at some of them.
 
it's not so much that you need to worry about aggression but it's more that they are very fast feeders and will outcompete sea horses for food.
 
Blue Chromis are one of the more peacefull damsels but as mentioned will out compete for food and also their constant activity will stress out seahorses. Seahorses are best suited to a species tank. Pipefish are excellent companions as are Mandarin Fish. Mandarins, however need to be in a well established tank with plenty of live rock to thrive as they rarely will take any prepared foods.
