Seahorses or Jellyfish? I've always wondered if these are viable marine tank inhabitants... obviously you'd need a pretty big tank, but I think it'd be worth it to have one of these amazing animals as a pet.
Does anyone keep...

Sea horses yes, though they do best in species only tanks, where they can be fed frequently with minimal competition from fish. Jellies need circular tanks--they get stuck in corners, and can be tough to feed. They also obviously need a species only tank, to prevent injury to other specimens.
Yes, jellies need circular tanks. South Carolina Aquarium has one (not avail to the public to view) where they grow moon jellies. They buy eggs and hatch them, feed them brine shrimp, and grow them in the circular tank. I can't remember what they're called. It's quite a site seeing them things go round and round and round.....
Certainly not something the average aquarist would want to try.
Here is a crude version. The SC Aquarium has one that is made of acrylic and is actually rounded, not "cornered" like this one, but you get the idea. They just move the current gently round and round and round and round.....
