I bought my first pair of seahorses from Ocean Rider and my subsequent seahorses from Seahorse Source when I upgraded my tank. Both of those are reputable seahorse farms that have been raising captive bred seahorses for a long time. I still have my original OR female and it has not been a problem. All the seahorses are H.erectus which is a sturdy specie.
I have read that doing bigger than even the usual large water changes helps when mixing sources and I do that.
I also QT new ponies to make sure that they recover from shipping stress and are eating well before I put them in my DT.
